Grubbiness

Apropos the preceding post, I do like the following tweet -
Jason Akermanis tells gay men to live a lie. David Campbell shows us how you're treated when you do
and Marieke Hardy's post on the ABC site. Nice dissection of the "strategic ellipses" (no ellipses below the hipses, perhaps) in Paul Kent's grubby 'expose'.

Meanwhile Mr Akermanis is reported by the Daily Telegraph as indicating that it was terrifying to have 'missiles' (ie eggs) thrown in the darkness at his house and car. (Being on the receiving end of flying bricks, concrete and beer bottles is traditionally reserved for gay men or just for people that homophobes suspect are gay.)

The stouthearted Akermanis explained that -
I'm not happy and I didn't get a wink of sleep after it happened.

It was pretty terrifying, to be honest, to hear all that noise coming because it's such a quiet neighborhood we live in.
Without condoning violence ... Jason, get a grip.
