‘Queers for Palestine’ receive a ‘reality check’ following social media post
Sky News host James Macpherson reacts to the Australian ambassador to Iran getting a dressing down over an Instagram post supporting the LGBTIQ+ community.
Ian McConville was summoned to the foreign ministry office in Tehran, Iran's capital, after sharing a post on the embassy's official Instagram account celebrating "Wear It Purple Day”.
“Queers for Palestine got a little reality check today,” Mr Macpherson said.
“You see, homosexuality is illegal in the Islamic Republic of Iran. And by illegal, I mean, the Islamists will hang you by the neck for it.
“Wear it Purple Day is an annual LGBTQIA+ awareness day to celebrate and promote all things queer.
“Who knew that was a thing in Iran? I suppose you have to trust our diplomats to know their audience.”
