Australia’s first lesbian couple to tie the knot on Married At First Sight Australia have been targeted by American fans of the US series – and their comments are vile.
The backwards viewers used a MAFS fan Facebook account to voice their objection to having a same-sex couple marry on the American franchise.
MUST WATCH: Married at First Sight’s first ever same sex couple
Despite no announcement being made about the possible introduced of a same-sex union, they sounded off on Amanda Micallef and Tash Herz.
‘Ewwwww! I guess they want bad ratings now! This show goes downhill each season,’ one troll wrote.
Another said: ‘Well I just may have to add this to my DO NOT WATCH list.’
And another vile fan snapped: ‘Okay. I’m done with MAFS. Yuck!’
While Amanda and Tash didn’t last the distance, Tash acknowledged the power in being represented on Australia’s most polarising TV show.
On February 4, she wrote alongside an image of her and Amanda on their wedding day, ‘How powerful that Australia has finally recognised that love is not connected, nor related, to sexuality. A fight which I never understood why it was having to be fought to begin with, but I’m proud has firmly been won,’ she began.
‘I find the commitment of marriage, choosing to love your human every day, to be where the real magic lies; and to be able to experience that kind of commitment with a woman makes my fiercely romantic heart skip a beat. Thank you to every person whose progressive mind and open heart has paved the way for same-sex marriage, and a big congratulations to Australia!’
