Homophobia isn't cool

What's Trevor Mallard's latest taunt across the House to National's Chris Finlayson?

"Tinkerbell".

As The Hand Mirror points out, this sort of homophobia and misogyny isn't cool. And it is appalling to see a senior member of a supposedly "progressive" party engaging in it. Particularly when as a teacher he should know the social cost of this sort of public homophobia.

What next from Trevor? Calling Hone Harawira "nigger"?
