'We've accepted you into this country': Yes voter goes on explosive rant against no campaigners

A gay marriage supporter has been caught on camera abusing and swearing at a group of ‘No’ campaigners on a busy street in Sydney.

The man in a long-sleeved shirt, with stubble and a black ear piercing was filmed yelling at a man and a woman as they handed out “It’s OK to vote No” pamphlets at Chatswood.

The man aggressively points at the campaigners.

“I respect equal rights. People like you in this country are what are bringing this f****** country down,” he says.

“You've come here. We've accepted you into this country.”

The woman hits back saying “we’ve accepted you into this country too”.

But this just fires the man up and he keeps going.

“I’m Australian — my parents are Australian. I’m not being racist! I’ve got Aboriginal family. I’m not being racist at all,” he says.

“You’re just being a f******* d***head by voting ‘No’. F*** you. F*** you. Respect people’s rights you gronk,” he yells as he storms off.

The woman asks him to “respect our rights too.”

“Your rights for being a dumb c***,” he replies.

A 'No' campaigner uploaded the video to Facebook and titled it, “Your weekly dose of tolerance”.

He said the man approached campaigners and started yelling.

“A mother and father came up to us and expressed their desire to vote no and this was his response,” he posted.
