Miranda Devine's recent column, "NRL bosses are totally gay" contains homophobic abuse and villifies the gay community. It promotes the use of "gay" as a derogatory term by denyng the term is derogatory. It villifies those who defend themselves against such abuse by labelling them "homofascists".

The Daily Telegraph shoud publish an apology.

It is not appropriate for a mainstream newspaper to publish homophobic abuse.

It is indecent and wrong to label as "homofascists" those who stand up to homophobic abuse.

To normalise and minimise abuse is to encourage and promote abuse.

Victims of homophobic abuse suffer serious and far reaching consequences, such as increased risk of violence, suicide, drug abuse and depression.
