An anti-same-sex marriage letter dropped across a Sydney suburb has offended equality advocates.
Human rights campaigner Sally Rugg posted an image of the pamphlet to Twitter.
‘Some of the marriage equality “respectful debate” in the letterboxes of Hurstville this morning,’ she captioned the photo.
The A4 leaflet, riddled with grammar errors, is written on one side in Chinese and on the other in English and urges Australians to vote ‘NO’ to same-sex marriage legislation.

‘Homosexuality is a curse of death in terminating the family line and without decedents,’ the flyer states.
‘The sexual behaviour of a*** sex among some homosexuals is one of the main source of HIV/AIDS transmission.
‘Homosexuality is a tragedy of a family, a grave to the family bloodline, a curse of family sonlessness!’
The letter goes on to explain the passing of the law would be a potential safety risk for women, outlining a number of convoluted ideas, including that should the law be passed there would be ‘no separate public toilets’ for men and women.

Many Twitter users were quick to slam the post with one person citing: ‘What vile drongos’.
Another said the group had been door knocking.
One person said: ‘If I had to hazard a guess, I’d say they’re straight men that only take issue with gay men because lesbian porn is hot.’
A woman under the name ‘Sweet lil old lady’ wrote: ‘I can’t believe this garbage. Admittedly I only got as far as the ‘no segregated public toilets’ before I started frothing at the mouth.’
Others said they felt sick.
The postal plebiscite has been confirmed after the Senate rejected the same-sex marriage vote for a second time.
The Australian public will be able to formally voice their support for the issue later this year through the postal vote. It is non-compulsory and non-binding, and is expected to cost up to $122 million.
