Jason Virgo, a former same-sex marriage advocate, was elected to South Australia's parliament. He represents One Nation, a political party not known for progressive policies.

Virgo played a role in South Australia's LGBTQ+ movement years ago. He supported equal rights and marriage equality for gay people.

His choice for One Nation raises questions about his current views. The party criticises many progressive measures that LGBTQ+ organisations support.

It is unclear if Virgo still supports his former activism. One Nation leader Pauline Hanson has criticised LGBTQ+ issues in the past.

Observers wonder how LGBTQ+ groups will react to this development. Some see this as a break with his past, others await clarity from Virgo.

The election raises questions about how political loyalties shift and what motivates politicians.
