Australian professional rugby player Israel Folau has caused huge controversy on Instagram after posting an openly homophobic image on his official account.
The 30 year old rugby star posted the banner in response to Tasmania becoming first state or territory in Australia to make the inclusion of gender optional on birth certificates.
The post warns “drunks, homosexuals, adulterers, liars and fornicators” among others that hell awaits them unless they repent.
Folau has already been spoken to by Rugby Australia chief executive Raelene Castle about her disapproval of his posts.
