More gay marriage strife for Katter SUSPENDED Katter's Australian Party (KAP) candidate Bernard Gaynor says leader Bob Katter is compromising the party's values on gay marriage because he is too scared to lose another candidate. Mr Gaynor says the issue is causing an internal crisis, and must come to a head at the national executive meeting on Friday. Mr Gaynor was suspended soon after tweeting that he wouldn't want a homosexual teaching his children. On the same day, Victorian Tess Corbett was forced to withdraw her nomination after comments linking homosexuality to pedophilia. Despite the setbacks, Mr Katter last week seemingly rescued pro-gay marriage candidate for the ACT Steve Bailey. National director Aidan McLindon had asked Mr Bailey to withdraw his candidacy, but Mr Katter overrode the decision. "He is scared of losing another candidate so he is stuck with someone whose values he can't stand and who is driving away party faithful," Mr Gaynor said. Mr Gaynor says Mr Katter's actions were in contradiction to the party's core principles which state that marriage is between a man and a woman. Mr Gaynor said the party now must decide if it will drop the principle. It also must chose whether to lift his suspension or dump Mr Bailey. "It will be a key item on the agenda," he said. Does Bob Katter now support pro-gay marriage candidates? If so, every member should be informed that Katter's Australian Party has changed its values without consulting the rank and file. KAP Queensland leader Ray Hopper rejected Mr Gaynor's claims that gay marriage was such a big issue in the party. "Mr Gaynor is very outspoken," Mr Hopper said. He's got a right to be outspoken as an individual, but he hasn't got a right to be outspoken on behalf of the Katter party. Mr Hopper said some members were likely to be expelled when the party meets on Friday. He added that the party would also discuss federal Senate nominations. The Condamine MP confirmed he would be putting his hand up, which would force a by-election in his state seat but would stand aside if someone better came along. " (That's) if I was comfortable to know that person would be a good senator," he said.
