In 2017 Cory Bernardi, an Australian conservative politician, accidentally ended up in a photoshoot organized by the Labor party to promote voting yes to the question "Should the law be changed to allow same-sex couples to marry?" in the same-sex marriage postal survey.

The survey had a turnout of 79.5% and the results were:

yes: 61.6%
no: 38.4%

As a result of the survey parliament was able to vote and legalize same-sex marriage. The survey results happened in November 2017 and same-sex marriage was legalized in December 2017.

See:

Bernardi accidentally walked through the marriage equality photo of Western Australia Labor politicians wearing rainbow "It's Time" shirts in Parliament House on Monday night.

Bernardi is firmly against legalising same-sex marriage and is campaigning for the "no" camp in the same-sex marriage postal survey.

A reverse image search says it's Australian senator Cory Bernardi.

Definitely a sad, pitiful man.

Bernardi has said that permitting same-sex marriages would lead to legalised polygamy and bestiality; and said that the "safe schools program" designed to make homosexual children feel safer at school "bullies" heterosexual children.

Ah, or maybe bastard is more fitting

Oh definitely. I thought this looked like Australia. This was during the marriage equality plebiscite. The “It’s Time” shirts are a reference to a famous Australian election campaign: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It%27s_Time_(Australian_campaign)
