Runner I think you will find that those docters, are happy clappers like yourself.

This is not about Gay couples wanting to be married as most won't get married even if the law was changed. Its about those who see themselves as the progressive Left attempting to hurt the Conservative/Religious Right by tearing down old institutions and disguising it as social progress. Obama was against Gay marriage only last year, so his sudden conversion is simply an attempt to create an illusion that he is adjusting to changes in society while his announcement bears all the hallmarks of a political move of the Left.

The author sees no reason to change a long standing established institution which has been tested over many years and correctly concludes that all the rights of Marriage can be provided for Gay couples without the name. Yet the Gay lobby wants the name as well, suggesting its not just about rights or privileges for themselves its about taking away from others as well.

Should a Gay rights law be passed this will allow an attempt to split the Churches on the issue thus diminishing their power.

That may or may not be but at least they are honest in there conclusions unlike the homosexual lobby.

So if an old man kidnaps a young girl and forces her into marriage that is sacrosanct?

When polygamous societys' claim marriage between a man and a woman, a woman and a woman that is OK?

Marriage was an invention of men to steal the estates and wealth of their rich brides and to incorporate land holdings.

Atman says "Split the churches on this issue diminishing their power"
Atman what does that mean, that the church extends the fear it puts upon its "followers" to the general populace of Australia.
Australian citizens died fighting against facism and dictators, and it would seem you are unware of that sacrifice, as we live in a democracy not a theocracy.
The churches are a business with all its wealth and and financial income, yet contributes nil to Australia other than make claims for funding from Australian taxpayers, who are also homosexual, which makes the church hypocritical and a bludger on Australian society.

The disturbing issue as regards these docters, is that they are high Roman Catholic church and religous fundamentalists.
Which puts into question their "professional" capacity as regards in addressing sincerely the medical needs of a homosexual patient.
So are they honest in their professional status, to state publically within their community that they are antigay.
Money is money, even homosexuals are money, and for that moment they'll forget about the "Temple".
Over to you Runner mate!!
