@ David van Gend

Maybe I support the Greens, Maybe I support the ALP, Maybe I support the Liberals. It's absolutely none of your business which political party I choose to support. Get real.

Its Australia 2013, not Babylon 1750 BC.
Jason84,
I think the babylonians could teach the (P)ockers a thing or two.

If you go to google.com and type in: David van Gend, There is literally hundreds and hundreds of homosexuality opinions written by him on various websites. Same-sex marriage is not the real issue for Dr David van Gend. Im certainly glad he is not my doctor, as he obviously has an issue which is much bigger than gay marriage.

What gets me with the Gays is that they insist to be recognised as different yet they want OUR word marriage. If they are different then they should come up with a different word as well. Leave the word marriage for the man/woman society & there won't be any more bitching.
Get on with your lives & leave us to ours.

Individual, we live in a democracy, and the word marriage does not belong to you or anybody.
You may dislike gay people, but they contribute to your pension and entitled to the same rights that you enjoy

Kipp,
surely you can do better than that. I pay taxes too to pay for the treatment of their infections.. This is not about responsibility it's about genetic ethics. Also, I don't dislike them, that's your invention based on nothing. Democracy means or rather should mean majority agreement. The majority do not support gay marriage in the traditional sense. In the non-traditional sense no-one would give a hoot if two males or two females decide to join up for life but do not call it marriage. Tha's all there's to it. Let's have a referendum & we'll see. I go with what the majority goes with but I won't approve of it. It's not something I deliberately object to, it simply is unnatural to me. There are a lot of behaviours we all would like to exercise but a sense of control prohibits most of us to act out those urges. Too many gays do not simply accept their condition & live their lives as normal citizens outside the home. I know several gay men in relationships & we have laughs & share a beer. They do not flaunt or promote their condition as far too many do.
