A postal vote on same-sex<\/a> marriage is currently underway in Australia.<\/p>\n So some mouth-breathing cretin in the park tried to kick my dog while shouting homophobic slurs. Australia you have truly shat the bed. pic.twitter.com\/ptPd5Oz0Rz<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Claire Sutherland (@brolga2) September 26, 2017<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Writes Claire Sutherland<\/a>:<\/p>\n This week he spent the night at the dog sitter\u2019s house because my husband and I were going to be out late at an event.<\/p>\n Yesterday she took him for a walk in the mid afternoon at McIvor Reserve in Yarraville, in Melbourne\u2019s west. Dogs are allowed off leash while sports aren\u2019t being played.<\/p>\n Mack was running around the oval and approached a man<\/a> walking alone. He didn\u2019t rush him or jump on him, but to my dog sitter\u2019s absolute astonishment, the man<\/a> did what thankfully turned out to be a fresh air kick at Mack.<\/p>\n He then turned to our dog sitter, abusing her with homophobic slurs. He called her a \u201cperverted f***king poofter\u201d, a degenerate and dangerous, while referencing the same-sex<\/a> marriage survey.<\/p>\n Our dog sitter would stand in the path of a train if it meant looking after a dog, and judging by her description of the language she used in response, I think it\u2019s fair to say she held her own during this unpleasant encounter.<\/p>\n The post A Dog Named Mack Was Attacked in Australia for Wearing an Equality Bandana<\/a> appeared first on Towleroad<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n
