Militant demands by minority over gender and sexuality doctrines intrude upon majority, by the Mocker.

How quiche are the progressives of Canberra? Yesterday the ABC reported the ACT Legislative Assembly was considering removing gendered titles such as “Mr’’ and “Ms’’ following a submission by the local Labor caucus which expressed concerns that the traditional titles were “exclusionary”.
