Privileged White Male Applies for SJW Credits
On the one hand we have the freewheeling likes of Dave Chappelle and Ricky Gervais. And on the other we have local comic Lawrence Mooney, currently demanding the removal from society of 77-year-old Australian tennis great Margaret Court.
On the one hand we have the freewheeling likes of Dave Chappelle and Ricky Gervais. And on the other we have local comic Lawrence Mooney, currently demanding the removal from society of 77-year-old Australian tennis great Margaret Court:
Australian comedian and host of Triple M Sydney’s breakfast program Lawrence Mooney said Court’s attitude towards gay people has no place in society …

“Margaret Court’s opinions on same sex marriage and sexuality are abhorrent and she should be hounded out of the sport until she falls into line.
