jason84, "Galaxy opinion polling is not associated with any gay rights organisations and is totally independent."

The poll you are talking about was sponsored by Get Up. Do you know where its funds come from, its membership, what its policies are and how it arrives at those policies? After all, you vouch for it as being "totally independent".

Further, have you had occasion to look at the survey design? As demonstrated during the last election, there are surveys and surveys and few people really put much stock in them unless done by the federal Bureau of Statistics.

@ cornflower.
I read link Jason84 provided, the first question is provocative and leads the answer on the second via the usual guilt trip used to manufacture consent.
"If comparable White/Multicultural countries are allowing "Gay" marriage then shouldn't we?"
Honestly, an activist stream which holds up Canada, the United States and South Africa as "tolerant" countries is laughable, in Canada if you are politically incorrect you are hauled before a tribunal and you go to jail, no one is ever acquitted of a "Human Rights" charge.
South Africa is committing genocide against the Boers, it's so bad that even the U.N has listed them as vulnerable and subject to persecution and attempts to wipe them out.
The U.S government is now the subject of a Human Rights complaint with the U.N for its Genocide of White Americans via uncontrolled immigration and totally outrageous rate of bias crimes against Whites.
This is what I mean, "Gay" activists, just like "diversity" activists wouldn't have the first inkling of what the words tolerance and diversity mean, their model of "tolerance" is Ukraine under the CHEKA in 1932.

Excellent point Jay of Melbourne – the few nations that adopted “gay marriage” are very anti-free speech and far from tolerant. Many of them censor “bad” opinions.

Don't forget to blame us gays for Hurricane Katrina and the September 11th 2001 terror attacks like the late Reverend Jerry Falwell and Reverend John Haggee did.

Unless your the Governor-General Ms Quentin Bryce, then there is no way you can stop gay marriage from being legalised. The majority of the population support marriage equality, so a couple of people whinging and moaning on onlineopinion.com.au is not going to stop gay marriage eventually becoming legal. Thanks for the laughs, Nice try kids cya.

There seems to be some confusion about the term "inclusion." Some posters seem to think "inclusion" is the same as "compulsion."

HB and JoM:

Equality for those who want same sex marriage doesn't mean compelling same sex couples to marry.

The argument is about fairness, and equal choice for adult human beings. You just don't get that, do you?

Nobody is imposing the mould (sic) of church and state on gays and lesbians - we're just wanting gays and lesbians to have the same access to these "impositions" as straight people have, if they want to do that.

Inclusion isn't the same as assimilation either.

I know a lot of straight people who've ended their marriages over the years, and none of them were radical feminists
