what goes around...
So there's this Australian politician who yesterday told a press conference that he was molested by his scoutmaster.

Now usually, I would not go anywhere near the subject of child abuse. It's f**ked, it's wrong, and there's an especially fiery place in hell for those who do it. But this guy is the public face of political conservatism, and represents a party whose core political belief is that gay people are second-class citizens.
He's anti-LGBT adoption, he's anti-IVF treatment for lesbians, he's anti-Gay marriage. He's anti-you and I, basically. If he had his way, we'd probably live by the word of the bible and all the gays would be herded into Auschwitz.
But he's a child abuse victim.
Err... so?
How can I reconcile that with the fact that he's a conservative dirtbag?
...
Nope, I can't. I just can't.
I know he's an abuse victim, but...
Nope, it's just not there.
I get robbed of civil liberties, he gets robbed of his childhood.
It's like retro-active karma. and you know what? that sits just fine with me.
Karma's a bitch, Steve Fielding.
