Gay Activists Sink an Australian Bridal Magazine

The owners quietly refused to celebrate same-sex weddings

In a dramatic demonstration of the power of the LGBTQI lobby, an Australian wedding magazine is closing down because its editors refuse to feature same-sex weddings.

White, a glossy magazine published quarterly for 12 years by husband and wife team Luke and Carla Burrell, has been haemorrhaging advertisers since LGBTQI activists launched a campaign on social media to destroy it.

White’s circulation had reached 32,000 copies and it was circulated in 17 countries. In addition to the Burrells it had one full-time employee. It depended on a network of photographers for content and advertisers for income. All this started to unravel with the legalisation of same-sex marriage in Australia.

In August, a lesbian wedding photographer, Lara Holz, noticed that the magazine had ignored the introduction of same-sex marriage. She asked the owners why and was told "we aren't sharing Same Sex weddings at this point". The news went viral on social media with the hashtag #unveilyourvalues. Critics of the Burrells contended that they should state openly that they were in favour of discriminating against same-sex couples. Tanya Voltchanskaya, “a queer photographer that wishes to see equality across all Australian publications”, wrote on Facebook:

In this day and age, both vendors and consumers increasingly choose to spend their money on brands with aligned values. Whether you are queer or straight, I believe you have a right to know the beliefs behind a company before you support them. Therefore White Magazine owes it to their consumers and vendors to be 100% honest about their policy regarding their current boycott of same-sex marriage, as their silence is currently misleading.

Ya know, for most my life, I had no thoughts one way or the other about poofters but now, because they are so mean spirited and angry all the time, I really dislike them as a group. I tend to avoid them in my personal life as well. Who needs the drama?

Remember how they argued changing the definition of marriage wasn’t going to have any negative impact on anyone else’s life?

They should publish disgusting photos of what the gays call “marriage” and expose them.

exactly, they argued vehemently ‘all they wanted is just to be happy, that’s all, They promise we won’t go after anyone, that they just want to be happy’

Gay people by and large are NOT happy people, and are always looking to make everyone else miserable as well- and America fell for their lies about ‘just wanting to be happy’

Feminists and their homo-activist associates hate marriage (misogamy).
