Jordan Hirst was elected to South Australia's parliament. He joined One Nation party.
Hirst campaigned for years for equal marriage rights. He supported LGBTQ+ causes and was a Sex Party candidate.
This is a surprising move. One Nation is not known for supporting LGBTQ+ rights. The party has different priorities.
Hirst won his seat after equal marriage became law. Australia approved it in 2017.
It is unclear how his new party views his activism. One Nation focuses mainly on immigration and economic issues.
