So being expected to do your job is 'bullying'? Gosh, I've been bullied for years, and never realised it.

The big fear is of course , amongst this "set", if this issue goes to a referendum at the next election, it will not so much as reach the starting gate...hopefully Abbot will be smart enough to manipulate this outcome...

The article smells the same to me as the former opposition to equal pay for equal work for women. Scare tactics such as "It will destroy the home." and other nonsense.

Now it is the 'homosexual lobby'. More nonsense. Gradually our society is promoting equal justice for all people regardless of sex, ethnicity, religious belief or lack of it and nationality. Now many of us are concerned that this be extended to people regardless of their sexual orientation or sexual preferences. Apparently that is what the author labels the homosexual lobby. I am proud to be a heterosexual male who is part of that lobby.

<<So being expected to do your job is 'bullying'?>>

Certainly. Being expected to do a job you never agreed to do is bullying.

The LGBTIQ people (by the time this is posted new letters will be added) are only used as pawns or a pretext by the real bullies', whose aim is not limited to promoting other forms of sexuality or even to burning Christians, but to destroying all families and everything else that requires restraint and discipline. The sight of a happy family makes them angry and upset, probably because they never had one, so they now want nobody else to have it.

Look at the number of people practicing homosexuality employed by the abc/sbs. Says is all. Such a tiny percentage of the population with such over representation.

What is at risk here is the society we have built with the nuclear family as its fundamental building block i.e. institutionalised monogamy.
Marriage has been understood for millennia as not a contract between 2 people capable of procreation- an institution for the nurture and education of children.
The Judeo Christian culture in which it has been a feature is the ONLY culture which has brought children to the maximum of their potential to produce the innovations and science which has produced the wealth creation the world now enjoys- without which 90% of today's world population could not exist for lack of the means to produce , transport and distribute the food and shelter to sustain it.

What other culture has given rise to the steam engine, locomotives, steel ships, aviation, telegraph, telephone, radio, sky scrapers, television, internal combustion engines, computer, internet etc.?

Adoption of institutionalised monogamy has coincided with the huge increase in wealth of Japan and China. Co-incidence ?

Homosexual couples have, under existing personal relationship legislation, the same rights as the parties involved in traditional marriage dissolution.
So this "equal rights " brouhaha is about symbolism. Homosexual relationship is not and never will be the same as marriage in the traditional form and legislation cannot change that situation.

If this nonsense continues the next obvious step is recognition of Muslim polygamy as the equal of traditional marriage and we will be in a society based on the domination of the alpha male with the poverty and strife we see in Muslim societies where the overwhelming majority live in stark poverty on a sea of oil and seek to flee to monogamy based nations and bring their corrosive society with them.
