The fallout from Tasmania’s failed gay marriage legislation has turned nasty, with claims of deaths threats against a gay activist and a cyber campaign against some MP’s.
Last month’s parliamentary debate on the marriage equality bill was charged with emotion and ended with Tasmanian upper house MPs voting it down, eight to six.
Social media pages have been set up to criticise legislative councillors, including Launceston’s Rosemary Armitage and Glenorchy’s Adriana Taylor for voting against the bill.
