My take on "marriage equality" is similar to that on capitol punishment. I think that capitol punishment is overwhelmingly endorsed by the people, and "marriage equality" most definitely is not. In both of these policies, I would be wiling to put it to a plebiscite and let the people decide.

But neither those who want "marriage equality" or a reintroduction of the death penalty want plebiscites on these issues because they know they would lose.

Lego,
I don't want the status of homosexuality under the law to change from where it sits now, however as a father I do see the need to stop the promotion of Gay propaganda to people under the age of 18, it definitely should not be allowed in schools.

Jay, no amount of 'propaganda' in school would have convinced me to 'become gay', I don't know about you.

You put yourself out there as being a man of the world, who knows about everything, but you aren't aware that you are born gay and can't 'decide' to be gay.

As far as I am concerned, if you feel uncertain about your sexuality, as some people say, then you are gay.

I am not threatened by the possibility of gay marriage, and only religious nutters and bigots feel upset by this.

Suseonline,

I am not “threatened by the possibility of gay marriage” because there is no such thing. Nor am I “upset” by it. Nor are those who oppose the misuse of the English language “religious nutters and bigots”. This nasty labelling is what members of the gay marriage lobby resort to to cover up for the irrationality of their case. Marriage is the union of a man and a woman. That is just what it is. That marriage has this meaning and not another is no more a matter of discrimination than the fact that a doctor is not a saucepan, though I might start Australians for Saucepan Equality so that doctors can be called saucepans.

The same-sex marriage campaign is the silliest thing to be taken seriously in the last 40 years, which is perhaps why its proponents become so emotional and nasty in their comments.

Chris C, "Kettle and Pot" !!

Kipp,

Very funny! But would we argue that pots should be called kettles on the grounds of kettle equality or that kettles should be called pots on the grounds of pot equality?
