Edit (12:50 pm EDT) – While the Towleroad article on MP David Campbell labels him as a “family values” politician, we don’t have enough information to be able to know this at this time.
You know, I cannot find anything online showing that Aussie MP David Campbell has an anti-gay or family values voting record. It appears he was closeted and unfaithful to his wife but that is about the extent of it. I think the “family values” moniker in your headline is misleading and inflammatory, unless you have more information than I do.
I did a small search, and couldn’t find anything either.
Thank you for catching that. I have edited the entry.
I edited that a bit Eugene, hope you don’t mind. I wanted to keep our changes transparent. Thanks.
