Prime Minister Tony Abbott has spoken out about the Gay? That’s OK! initiative which is set to launch this weekend at the blockbuster clash between University Blacks and Collegians at Melbourne University Oval.
Appearing on 2UE Drive with Justin Smith yesterday, Abbott responded to questions regarding the initiative by admitting he’s happy to say it’s OK to be gay.

University Blacks life members, Lachlan and Charles Beaton, created the initiative following Lachlan’s own 13-year struggle with self acceptance.
