Australian tennis great Margaret Court says she feels bullied by a fierce backlash over her views on gay marriage, but has vowed not to be "intimidated".

Court (74), now a Christian pastor, caused controversy by announcing last week she would stop flying Qantas in protest at the airline’s support of same-sex marriage. It sparked calls, led by Martina Navratilova and supported by Richel Hogenkamp, one of the few openly gay players in tennis.
"It’s bullying. They always said that we were bullying them. I have nothing against gay people and we have them in our church and I help them. But this is a Judeo-Christian nation and I believe we should protect marriage," she added.
