The first openly gay state MP, Ian Hunter, will marry his long-term partner, Leith Semmens, in Spain at the end of the year.

It is believed Mr Hunter will be the first sitting gay politician of any Australian parliament to be married, although the ACT's Andrew Barr has entered a civil union with his partner, The Advertiser reported.

Mr Hunter and Mr Semmens, who have been together for more than 20 years, had planned to marry in New York last year but were held up because the Federal Government refused to grant the necessary paperwork that would have allowed the ceremony to be conducted in the US.

"We have had a long-term plan to go to Spain ... so we decided to get married there," Mr Hunter said in an interview for today's saweekend  magazine, which tells the story of his long climb to a position in Cabinet.

He said it would be a "very traditional" ceremony. Mr Hunter was elected to Parliament in 2006 and promoted to Cabinet last October by Premier Jay Weatherill. His portfolios include social inclusion, disabilities, social housing and communities.

A Geelong radio station's new competition has been slammed as "pornography on training wheels" and criticised for objectifying women.

K-Rock is offering adult store gift packs to the winners of its best beach bum contest, which is heavily promoted on its website.

The public is encouraged to select their favourite from the entries posted online, including women and men in bathers, lingerie and underwear.

The contest has drawn the ire of grassroots activist group Collective Shout, which has recently taken on Geelong-based stationary chain Typo over its porn-themed products.

Collective spokesperson Melinda Liszewski said K-Rock's promotion drew comparisons to a New Zealand radio station's wet T-shirt competition.

"It is basically pornography on training wheels," she said.

Communications Minister Stephen Conroy last night remained stalwart in his support for Labor's controversial mandatory internet filtering scheme in a heated debate on ABC TV.

On the Q&A program last night, viewer William Rollo from South Australia asked Senator Conroy whether Labor's support for the filter was pointless, given that it may not have the numbers to get through Parliament.

"The Coalition aren’t backing it... and the Greens aren't too keen on it either. Under the new paradigm it's realistically unlikely to get anywhere.

"Do you therefore think it's fair for voters to see your insistence on this policy as a time and money waster?"

However Senator Conroy said a review of the Refused Classification category of content still had to be undertaken before legislation was introduced to Parliament.

"You don't, simply because you've got a lot of criticism, say 'well I'm going to run away from that policy'," he said.

Mateship is the cornerstone of the Australian way of life until sex enters the picture, that is.

Early results from the bi-annual Great Australian Sex Census reveal four out of 10 people would have sex with a friend's partner if the opportunity arose.

But sex is not everything two-thirds of Australians said they remain with their current partner for love even though their sex life is unsatisfactory.

Australians named tradies, men in uniform and emergency service workers as the hottest-looking workers.'

Almost one in 10 women wants to feature in a porno, 5 per cent of men admitted they fantasise about having sex with a transvestite, and 56 per cent are turned off by fake breasts.

Victorians are the most desperate to have sex with a celebrity and almost half are unsatisfied with their real sex life.

Top of the Victorian sex bucket list is being part of a threesome and partaking in an orgy.

A blogger who characterised anti-porn activist Melinda Tankard Reist as a ''fundamentalist Christian'' says she has been asked to apologise - or be sued.

Tankard Reist - who briefed lawyers to warn off liberal blogger Jennifer Wilson - says it's not being called Christian she objects to, but the claim that she is ''deceptive and duplicitous about her religious beliefs''.

She has sought legal advice from Canberra defamation lawyer Ric Lucas, who once represented Opposition Leader Tony Abbott and former treasurer Peter Costello and their wives in a successful action against publisher Random House over false claims in a memoir by Bob Ellis.

While Tankard Reist has not gone so far as to issue court proceedings yet, she complains social media has intensified the level of vituperation against outspoken figures such as herself.

Gay rights activists plan to storm the Australian Open in protest at anti-gay comments by Australian tennis champion Margaret Court.

Activists plan to inundate Margaret Court Arena and raise hundreds of rainbow flags. Thousands of supporters have already backed the protest.

Protest co-ordinator Doug Pollard urged people to wear rainbow colours to the event each day.

"We are not asking for a lot of noise," he said.

"We just want to say that we don't agree with all the lies Margaret Court has been peddling. People think that she has got away with it for too long and have heard enough of her trading in on her tennis halo."

The Facebook site responsible for starting the initiative was created in the US, but has used the Australian Open to make its point.

"Don't give in to hatred or be silenced by apathy or fear," the online call to arms states.

"We ask that you unfurl your rainbow flag in pride to support the gay community."

Australian Sex Party president Fiona Patten said the Australian Open was a great platform to promote tolerance.
