Senate harmony on marriage glosses over the deep divisions in rainbow politics : Comments

By Lyle Shelton, published 24/2/2017

That there are far reaching consequences of redefining marriage is further reason why a people's vote is the fairest way to settle this debate.

C’mon, phanto. Do I really have to answer that for you?

<<On what grounds are gay people being discriminated against?>>

They’re denied the same privileges as straight people when it comes to marriage.

<<Polygamous marriages are not supported ...>>

Yes, and for good reason too. Polygamy is usually a religious arrangement that involves rape and incest. Appealing to polygamy, or people marrying their dogs, is a false analogy.

<<Who says they have a ‘right’ to government support of their marriage?>>

Who says non-whites have the right to not be discriminated against? If you can answer my question, then you can answer yours.

<<Just because the government supports marriage between one man and one woman does not mean that those people have a right to that support.>>

Just because the government has one standard for whites, does that mean they should have it for non-whites?

<<How do you judge what is a right and what is merely support to a particular type of relationship?>>

By assessing whether the denial of “support” (as you put it) to a particular group constitutes discrimination.

<<So why are you bothering to argue the case?>>

Because, apparently, some still don’t get it.

<<Are you trying to suck people into your paranoid web?>>

What paranoid web is that? You still haven’t explained this from a previous thread.

Time to grow up AJ Philips, no one is being denied anything.

Poofters, I refuse to give these people the right to claim a perfectly good English word, before they contaminated it, are entitled to everything a natural person is entitled to.

They can marry a person of the opposite sex, just as everyone else.

They can live together & do what ever they like to/with each other & others if they chose. They can will all their worldly possessions to each other, except for one thing, & I believe this is the crux of the matter.

What they can't do is "inherit" their mates public service superannuation, & why should they? If I share a home with one or more people of any sex, they can't "Inherit" any super I may have, why should a poofter. After all this was organised to cater for any children of a mirage, not to keep an ex sex partner in comfort.

If we changed the law to allow the passing on of public Super to a poofter mate, all this garbage would disappear

You wish!?

The very next election will ram home a message you will no longer be able to ignore!

As will recent medical discoveries that seemed to have found a gay gene, not as a single gene, but quite a few and down near the bottom of the DNA spiral.

And given everything in that DNA spiral is the handiwork of the creator, you and your lot have an ultimate day of judgement and accounting to face and pay for!

How many young lives have been snuffed out in a suicide noose etc/etc. Because of the patent discrimination and denial of human rights, every other person in this place accepts as their God given legacy!

You think a glib tongue will save you from one that sees everything you've done or been responsible for? And knows your real motivation or what's truly in your heart! The misery your barely veiled, control freak politics/messaging has created?

Bring on the next election and then we will see if there's as much as a single division in the rainbow community or their extended, (straight) family members and friends!

You assume rights you've never ever had and divisions which have never ever existed!

Dear Alan,

No gay gene was ever found: what was discovered are genes that contribute to homosexuality.

Being homosexual is a benign biological trait - while being gay is an anti-religious political orientation.
Are you perhaps claiming that the creator is a masochist who designed genes that cause people to harass His followers?

I'm Sorry Yuyustu, but your knowledge of medicine is decidedly dated. And according to one of the premier researchers, and straight from his mouth and in his words, during prime time TV. Which means I can't be the only one hearing that long overdue admission.

Yes, there is a gay gene, but not just one gene but many and located toward the bottom of the DNA spiral. Quote unquote.

But you may know something that the professional research has missed and may like to share with us and the errant research professors. As always, those who don't like the accumulated evidence, just reject it out of hand, and on the most flimsy or spurious grounds?

And just as vocal as the establishment medical community, when a couple of "courageous" nobel prize winning West Australian medical researchers bucked conventional wisdom and condemnation; to prove quite conclusively, that ulcers were caused by bacteria, rather than stomach acid.

To reiterate, there is no one Gay gene but rather, many. And the research places them toward the bottom of the DNA spiral. Denial only serves the needs of bigots. And not how I picked you.
