This is what happens when your PM doesn&#039;t condemn discrimination but rather acts to the contrary. I very much doubt the date of the video is a coincidence. 

In her degenerate mind, the lady in the video was also standing up to be counted a la Muscat. 

The highest office of our country has effectively engaged in the spreading of hate speech.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://daphnecaruanagalizia.com/2013/07/muscat-needs-to-have-stand-up-to-be-counted-defined-for-him-by-a-native-speaker-of-the-language/#comment-1131515&quot;&gt;Edward&lt;/a&gt;.

Muscat only used LGBT issues to gain popularity, like Mintoff did in the past with the poor.

The truth is that he doesn&#039;t give a damn about LGBT issues.

And now we can see the truth coming to the surface. Muscat finally shows his hand, and gives us a taste of what is to come, of what he wants to turn Malta into. Back to the Golden Years we go.

And incidentally, all those who joined Labour&#039;s gay ghetto, like Albert Gauci Cunningham, did so to please their vanity and nothing more. Not to mention the iced buns he and all the others got.

Now if Gabby had any sense she would withdraw that Gay Soldier award she gave Muscat. She must stand for human rights too, and not just civil liberties.

We warned them not to take Labour seriously and all we got in return was &quot;You are brainwashed. You live in the past. Stop being negative&quot;.  

Now look at them. They were a couple of hours away of being part of the &quot;movement&quot; that stomped all over the human rights of desperate people. I hope they are feeling positive now. I hope they are happy they are so liberal.

And I will say this as a gay man myself: Muscat can take his civil partnerships and shove them where the sun doesn&#039;t shine. I will not be bullied into supporting this monster. I don&#039;t care about civil partnerships in Malta while this is still a danger.

We must stand together with our fellow minorities and stand firm. We must not be tempted to live like the very fascists who oppressed us in the past. Human rights for everyone.]]></description>
