You claim our nation's future direction is decided by the above?

By a lavatory?

Well I've heard of pissing competitions, maybe you are correct.

PS

What is it about Christians and sex - if they could look into the bedrooms of so-called heterosexual couples..... I doubt there would be such an load of anguish about what gays do in the boudoir.

As for the author's article, I think her point is more about viewing marriage as a far more flexible and adaptable partnership than it was in the past. The acceptance of gay marriage would simply be a further advancement of equity between people; male and female, male and male, female and female.

I wonder if Ms Gillard having knifed Mr Rudd in the back and doing a deal with the grubby Greens has promised them the okay for 'perverted' marriage. Of course she will be silent on this one like her treachery against Rudd until after the election.

Come on Pelican. You know better than that. Homosexuals thinking they are normal are just kidding themselves. What these people do in private is their own business and, if they shut up and got on with it, few people would take any interest in them at all. But, when they start screeching about 'rights', marriage and even adopting children, they are really asking for a serve.

Jason,

If you are going to say "what (you) said in (your)previous post", you are wasting your time. In these days of anything goes for the sake of political correctness, most people keep their thoughts to themselves. I don't. But never kid yourself that you and your behaviour is accepted just because of the silence of the majority. The average person is not as tolerant as you have kidded yourself into believing.

It is quite sad of you to call me a pervert when you are the one who has a totally unnatural problem. Like all people with odd-ball ideas and abnormal practices, you have been fooled into believed that by denigrating human standards and societal mores, held dear by the majority of human beings, you will somehow become more acceptable. You have more to fear from the do-gooders claiming to be tolerant than you have from me, Jason. The likes of the writer of the article, the extremist politicians getting votes from 'tolerance', and all of the Left-wing do-gooders and self-haters are using you, my friend. They are using you and those like you as a weapon to bang the rest of us over the head in pursuit of their own political agendas.

Dear runner,

Like John Howard was with the GST
and Tony Abbott is with WorkChoices?
Don't point fingers, there's four more
pointing back at you...

Dear AGIR,

People's entire way of thinking about
marriage has changed; it is now viewed less as an
economic arrangement or a kinship alliance, and
more as a companionship based on the emotional
commitment of two individuals.

This transformation is, of course, a general trend,
not a hard and fast rule. Hard and fast rules are
no longer relevant in today's society. People make
their own individual choices.

By the way, if a man loves Jesus, does that make him
gay?
;-)

I am giving you a big warm woolly winter hug, simply because you continue to inspire me.

We may well have our differences in the future, but I know you are a genuine, sincere person and that is worth more than anything your detractors (and mine) have to offer - if all they can offer consists of character attacks and cherry-picking proselytising.

Gay marriage is good for everyone because it means we are a step further to a fairer and more humane society.

@ Leigh

People choose to hold prejudiced views about homosexuality because its then easier for them to act in a prejudiced manner towards us gays and lesbians. Its very easy to pick the gay community apart and find reasons to be prejudiced. At the end of the days your likely to contine to hold your beliefs and Im going to continue to hold mine, so instead of calling gays and lesbians "unnatural" which is not helpful, why not use some basic tolerance.
