A two-metre long scroll featuring “confronting” homophobic slurs left on a Facebook post for a pride march has been included in the Queer Country art exhibition in Bendigo.
Artist Noel Hourigan, known as a “provocateur” in the queer art scene, has included in his piece the names of the people who made the offending comments as a way of holding them to account.
Mr Hourigan said, "They would never be able to say some of these statements in their workplaces, where there is laws that stop them from saying these things.”
“But somehow on social media they feel they've got a freedom to get away with these kind of things.”
