Karikaturista Bili Lik iz Australije našao se na meti kritika nakon što je homoseksualce uporedio sa nacistima.
Ilustracija, viagra dosage koja se pojavila u magazinu The Australian koji je u vlasništvu Rupeta Mardoka, prikazuje gej aktiviste koji strojevim korakom marširaju obu?eni u nacisti?ke uniforme duginih boja.
Karikatura je nastala u jeku rasprave o tome da li bi u Australiji trebalo da budu legalizovani istopolni brakovi.
Reakcije na ovu karikaturu nisu bile pozitivne.
Remember when Nazis rounded up the gays and put them in death camps? Anyway, here’s a respectful Bill Leak cartoon. pic.twitter.com/xmEhmwZQma

As a queer Jewish person, it's deeply disturbing to see Bill Leak and The Australian comparing LGBTI people seeking equality to Nazism

The Australian: it beggars belief that these activists think this country not capable of a respectful debate.

1. Sack your cartoonist
2. Sack your editor
3. Read up on the persecution of LGBTIQ people by the Nazis.

Verovatno najbolja reakcija došla je od Likovog kolege karikaturiste koji radi za jedne od najpoznatijih novina.
Dejvid Poup iz novina The Canberra Times oka?io je fotografiju Ri?arda Gruna, nema?kog umetnika, koji je osam godina proveo u nacisti?kom logoru zbog toga što je bio gej.
Hey kids. Today's lesson is on drawing, Nazis, and homosexuality…

Richard Grune, a German artist, spent almost 8 years in Nazi concentration camps for the "crime" of homosexuality pic.twitter.com/bRowJdN0pu

Grun je preživeo i na svojim ilustracijama je prikazao strahote života u logoru.

„Ri?ard Grun ?e biti upam?en mnogo vremena nakon što svet zaboravi Bilija Lika“, napisao je Dejvid Poup kao zaklju?ak.
Richard Grune will be remembered long after the world has forgotten Bill Leak
