Margaret Court dumped from her tennis club for her views on same-sex marriage
from Gay Star News:
Tennis legend Margaret Court will no longer be vice-patron of her local tennis club, citing fierce opposition to her views against same-sex marriage.
Court lost her re-election for the position, after members voted her out of the Cottesloe Tennis Club in Perth, Australia.
She believes she’s being ‘silenced’ on the issue of same-sex marriage and the move was ‘politically motivated.’
Court also believes LGBTI people want marriage ‘because they want to destroy it.’
On her election loss, she said: ‘I think it’s sad,’ reports the West Australian.
‘You don’t have the freedom of speech today to really defend yourself. It’s a sad day for our nation when it comes to that,’ she said.
