One Nation candidate says gay people have a mental illness
A One Nation candidate in WA has described gay people as having a mental illness in an offensive new video posted onto social media.
A One Nation candidate in Western Australia, Parminder Singh, has expressed homophobic views in a video, describing gay people as having a mental illness. The offensive comments were made by Singh, who is the third on One Nation WA's Legislative Council ticket, in a clip posted by Perth comedian Jasky Singh, also known as Mr Sikkant.
In the video, Singh claimed that gay parades advertise being gay to young people, and that women who try relationships with women do not "go back" to men. Despite the comments, Singh claimed he does not care about or have a problem with gay people, but opposes their advertising and marriage legalization. Meanwhile, Pauline Hanson, the One Nation leader, has been contacted for comment.
