  1. I think its very bias and very pro gay marriage propaganda not to have balance if this program was set out to debate this issue. Maybe they’ve got more audience members against gay marriage and other gay related issues that may bring in a balance.

  2. A gay host, two gay panellists, two lesbian panellists, one transgender and Fred Nile?

    Don’t know the political leanings of the host and the panellists – but unless there is at least two more rightwing conservatives on the panel – Nile and the LNP supporters will be screaming bias for sure.

    1. Agreed! As someone who fully support same sex marriage, even I think this seems incredibly unbalanced. And the one person they’ve got on the panel who is against it, is a complete loony.
