[Deleted for abuse.]

Well said Bill! The venom coming from the gay activists is more because their agenda is being put under close scrutiny and it hurts.

Gay ‘marriage’ advocates want to wreck marriage by virtue of the aim to redefine it. The goal is destruction and the agenda must be exposed and resisted. Anyone who is married should realise that gay marriage activists threaten your marriage. This is not comparable with the battles of interracial marriage because this was an abuse which needed attention; it was inhibiting the full meaning of marriage, between a man and a woman, which should transgress racial boundaries.

Marriage does not admit two persons of the same sex. From the Senate Report last year into the 2009 edition of The Greens’ attempt to overthrow marriage:

Marriage: from ‘maritus’ and ‘maritata’—’husband and wife’ in Latin.
‘Matrimonio’; ‘matrimonium’—’matrimony’; ‘making of a mother’. It already has the two sexes written in the whole etymology of the language. (p27)

The very meaning of the word precludes two men or two women from getting ‘married.’ They can’t. Their relationships by definition are intrinsically sterile. Male and female sexual unions have the profound capacity to generate human life. Not all marriages result in children, however, but this is an exception, whereas any sexual ‘union’ between two men or two women can never generate human life.

Marriage is the public recognition of parenthood, for the public and Common Good, and for the future of this or any nation. It is the bedrock of society, as it is crucial for our children, and governments have a right to support and protect this institution as a crucial matter of public policy. Children need and have a right to a mother and a father.

The contribution of so-called gay ‘marriage’ is to drive a permanent wedge between marriage and its connection with children. It destroys the meaning of marriage in law and society, rendering the term utterly incoherent. It also effects all in society, because the meaning of marriage is changed for all and is therefore a threat to all.

Lemas – you are right. The anti-democracy arguments spewing from gay leftists and their penchant for changing words helped me to conclude that “gay marriage” is a beautiful lie. No wonder this article infuriates them so – because they can’t deal with counterarguments.

Most of these comments are just plain rubbish. They don't address the topic of the article being SSM's blatant approach to destroy marriage as clearly stated by American homosexual activist Michelangelo Signorile... " the fight for same-sex marriage and its benefits and then, once granted, redefine the institution of marriage completely, to demand the right to marry not as a way of adhering to society’s moral codes but rather to debunk a myth and radically alter an archaic institution that as it now stands keeps us down. The most subversive action lesbians and gay men can undertake - and one that would perhaps benefit society - is to transform the notion of 'family' entirely."

This is a war against marriage - it does nothing to assist homosexuals in 'dignifying' their relationships (if that's possible). Marriage takes men into a monogamous stable relationship for the purpose of caring for and protecting women and fathering offspring. Without it he homosexuals wouldn't even be alive - and without it none of us will be alive in a couple of generations.

You can spew your hatred of conservatives and their traditional values but ultimately we all know that what you're asking for isn't legitimisation of your lifestyle but destruction of ours. ANd you're happy to sacrifice children, created through male-female union, to do it.

To the homosexuals reading these comments. The Christian who wrote this article and the Christians who are commenting do not hate you. As a matter of fact, we would like to see you repent and be completely and utterly set free from your bondage. Our God is able to do this. He has done it for others and He can do it for you though you may find this hard to believe right now. But we do hate your sin (which is not you as a person but the thing attached to you that has transformed you into something you were not created to be). We hate what it does to you and we hate what it does to society. A human child coming into the world was created to have two complimentary matching halves, a man and a woman, to create a loving bond to protect and surround the child so that he or she can grow and develop emotionally, spiritually and physically. Statistics prove that this is the ideal situation for the emotional health of any child. If you destroy that family unit on a grand political scale, you destroy thousands of lives of the potential newborns in the future who will make up our future world. Tearing the fabric of our society is a hideous evil but you cannot see that because you are so caught up in your own agendas. Or maybe you do and you don't care because you have had to suffer so why shouldn't others suffer as you have. I return to my original point. Our God loves you and has immense power beyond what you can see or imagine and He can set you so free that you will never look back. Don't go to your grave knowing you were a destructive force in society instead of the force for good that you might have been in God's hands.

More pearls before swine......

Raging left wing activists love to preach 'tolerance' but anyone that is contrary to their radical social agenda dosnt make the moral-relative cut. They hide under a banner of humanitarinism but are haters of anyone not like them.

E.g I was handing out how to vote cards a few years ago in Northcote, Melbourne, basically a green-hippie stronghold and the feral venom that was hurled at me was almost laughable. Nasty people.
