Parasite community is the word you are looking for.
I dont think Ric McIvor intended his attendance to support the hate filled messaging against homosexuals.
The majority of politicians are religious, the majority of religions are against homosexuality. So should a politician attending any church, Mosque or temple face the same kind of criticism. Is it just because this group is not mainstream and overtly homophobic? Is the less overt homophobia of other organized religion somehow better?
So I don't judge Ric for attending this particular event. How has Rics voting record been in the city and in the legislature for issues surrounding homosexuals. I would rather judge him by his voting record than by an event he attended.
