Let’s not meddle with the Marriage Act : Comments
By John de Meyrick, published 11/8/2015If same-sex unions are to be legally recognised in Australia then the least sensible means of doing it is to amend the Marriage Act 1961 in any of the ways currently being proposed, or at all.

What exactly is a sexual orientation? If a bunch of people behave in a certain way and analyse their behaviour by claiming it is a reasonable way to behave and therefore should be supported by the government then why should we be so naive as to accept their analysis without holding it up to scrutiny?
Many people, including governments around the world, have been bullied and intimidated into not questioning the reasonableness of their behaviour. Why are homosexuals so afraid of this questioning to the point where they are prepared to try and bully governments into denying citizens the right to such questioning? You would think if they really cared about themselves they would want to understand their behaviour whever the truth may lead them.
If their behaviour is reasonable then it should be a simple thing to prove as it is with heterosexuality. Without this proof then a government should not act. The government should not be debating the reasonableness of same-sex marriage but the reasonableness of homosexual behaviour. Unless such behaviour can be shown to be reasonable then it is futile to begin talking about same-sex marriage. Any argument must be logical and that means proving your initial premise. You have to prove homosexual behaviour is reasonable long before you begin talking of sexuality, orientation, relationships or marriage.
