Meet the family : Comments

By Stuart Horrex, published 1/9/2016

I, like my fiancé, am an Australian citizen, so the natural question is, why should we be forced to leave our own country to get married?

Hey, Alan. How do your reconcile your allegations of abuse from anti-SSM people with your own abuse of us, using epithets such as 'homophobe' and 'troglodyte'? Such self-admitted, publicly displayed hypocrisy is not a good debating tool.

Who on this site do you believe 'fears' homsexuals? That's what a phobia means - fear. Perhaps I missed something, but who on this site do you believe has expressed any hatred for, or dislike of homsexuals as human beings? Who on this site do you believe to be a troglodyte - a cave dweller?

Why do you believe your views are so precarious and fragile that they will not stand honest criticism? You and others of your obvious political bent are always yelling (metaphorically) shutup! to anyone who doesn't hold the same views as you do.

Everybody has a right to an opinion on anything. But, when you start trying to block other people from expressing their opinions by using the same sort of abuse as you accuse them of using, you lose all credibility.

Gosh, Stuart, homosexuals themselves must be the very worst 'abusers' of gays, they being adamantly opposed to and deriding marriage as the State and religious manacles of heterosexuals.

It is only very recently that Gay Pride activists and the real power behind 'gay marriage', the sly leftist 'Progressives' aka Fabians aka International Socialists, discovered the lack of 'gay marriage' as a problem for the homosexual community that had previously relished the ability to make and break relationships as they chose and without State intervention. Effective use of the Hegelian Paradigm there by the clever, manipulative Fabians.

Tell the truth now, there will be some 'show marriages' mainly of lesbians, most separating very soon after the TV lamps have faded (Netherlands and NZ experiences). But the activists who have been getting adrenaline (and some meaning in their lives) out of making 'authority' and 'society' bend over to their will, will be finding more ways to protest, as serial activists do.

As for the International Socialists, those self-declared 'Wolves in Sheep's Clothing' Fabians, they were always out for something to bludgeon 'conservative society' and for a time the gays were useful idiots.

Alan B,

"The little girl was whisked away to her "intended parents" before Ekaterine, the 32-year-old surrogate and herself a mother of two, had a chance to see her".

http://www.nzherald.co.nz/lifestyle/news/article.cfm?c_id=6&objectid=11425822

Seems very similar to a factory farm, where a newborn calf is taken from the mother cow before they can bond.

Because places such as america have same-sex marriage means nothing at all.

america also allows surrogacy, which does not mean that Australia should automatically allow surrogacy.

america is also not a signatory to the International Criminal Court, which means that america can bomb any country it wants (and it does).

However, this does not mean that Australia should stop being a signatory to the International Criminal Court as well.

Rojama and the Bible:
game on. Matt 19.3-9. 1 Cor 6.9.
There is no description of approved homosexuals. Homosexual marriage is never mentioned.

Phanto: I didn't invent the surprisingly successful Irish model, just avocate emulating it! Particularly in view of the fact that family and friends know who you are and that your sexual bias was conferred by nature rather than misguided personal choice!

The Irish model was successful because of those aforementioned facts and a reluctance on the part of family and intimate friends to discriminate or persecute you just for being what you are! THat's all I'm advocating!

As for the bible, not everything claimed by the bible is necessarily true or correct!

I don't believe Jonah was swallowed and lived in the belly of a whale for forty days, that Joshua blew down the walls of Jericho with a mouth blown trumpet or that a normal human man could wander the desert for forty days and forty nights without food or water! And pushing the absolute limits with just water!

Deserts are so labeled because of the usual lack of potable water, and that any existing water holes ruotinely frequented by defecating animals, who invariably foul the water, which if drunk will make a human male very sick and dehydrated, one of the major killers of children in third world countries

In order to believe any of that stone age storytelling, it is necessary to completely suspend credulity!

I believe a lot of what is gospel just reflects the customs and social mores of the writers at the time of writing! And given it in part seems to approve of slavery? Just as capable of other, inculcated from birth, erroneous belief in other areas as well? That being so simply not the word of God!?

Falsely believing something just doesn't make it true or correct especially if confounded by the facts!

If a kind and gentle unmarried Jesus walked among us today, with his preference for male company the so called Christian lobby would automatically label him a homosexual? Particularly, given his habitual hangouts seemed to be bars and taverns and the company of prostitutes? Today's equivalent probably being gay bars?

Allan B.

Can't answer my questions? Not surprising.
