By Rebecca Ananian-Welsh and Chris Peppel, published 17/8/2017Our own history calls the necessity of this plebiscite into question, and shows that a postal vote regarding marriage equality signals a new era in Australian plebiscites.

Good to see so many NO comments. Some clarification in case the yes people still keep attacking the nay sayers. 'Here Now' asks how two poofs change our lives. It just does because it creates the same reaction as a couple of drunken thugs walking towards you. It is intimidating and makes you uncomfortable. And don't you dare say 'that's your problem, not mine'. What no-one is saying, and I wish more people would point this out, that what the males engage in is disgusting. To be precise, sodomy and buggery. And they want to expose children to these disgusting acts, suggesting that the children would not be exposed to it. My God they are living under the same roof. The sad part is that for the most part this illness or brain/chemical disorder can be corrected medically, but it seems it's 'cool to be queer', as the saying goes. I also agree that the word 'marriage' is already taken. There are a myriad of other words to choose from. Knock yourselves out. Another valid point and of utmost importance/relevance. I am sick and tired of an extremely small minority going on and on and demanding they be accepted. Well it ain't gunna happen. I would much rather you go back in the closet and do all your dirty deeds inside that closet. I back the truth and what is right. Political correctness has no place in my life as I have found that it's ultimate meaning is defined as a 'LIE'. The facts as presented by the, oh BTW I'm taking back the word 'GAY', we used to use words like queers, poofs, homo's and so on, but apparently you can't do that today. I'm offended, get your own bloody word instead of taking a beautiful and happy word like gay and attaching it to such foul and depraved behaviour just to help jack up your selfish agenda.

Part of the lying nonsense of the perverts is that traditional marriage will not be affected. Many perverts do not share this view.
Masha Gessen, an author and outspoken activist for the LGBT community: “those advocating for gay marriage have long stated that the issue will not harm traditional marriage. Ms. Gessen’s comments on the subject seem to contradict the pro-gay-marriage party lines. Gessen shared her views on the subject and very specifically stated; • “Gay marriage is a lie.” • “Fighting for gay marriage generally involves lying about what we’re going to do with marriage when we get there.” • “It’s a no-brainer that the institution of marriage should not exist.” (This statement is met with very loud applause.)” • http://www.theblaze.com/news/2013/04/29/lesbian-activists-surprisingly-candid-speech-gay-marriage-fight-is-a-lie-to-destroy-marriage/ • It is important to vote NO Posted by Leo Lane, Sunday, 20 August 2017 12:40:07 PM

Hi Leo,
So ..... if someone thinks that marriage is a bourgeois institution that should be torn down, Gramsci-style, they should vote NO to homosexual 'marriage'. : If someone thinks the plebiscite proposals don't go far enough, they should vote NO. : If homosexuals think that marriage is irrelevant, they should vote NO. : If homosexuals are happy to stay in a sort of de facto relationship, even in multiple de facto relationships, and don't want the hassles of divorce, they should vote NO. : If someone couldn't give a toss, they should vote NO. Yep, that all sounds fair enough. Cheers, Joe Posted by Loudmouth, Sunday, 20 August 2017 12:47:12 PM

Thanks, Joe, what you put is very reasonable and sensible.
It will not appeal to the perverts, who blame their status on society, and wish to be revenged. Their satisfaction would come from a successful yes vote, and the unhappiness it would cause those who gain support from society’s institutions and their stability Posted by Leo Lane, Sunday, 20 August 2017 2:47:27 PM

Leo Lane, please enlighten us all as to how allowing same-sex marriage will affect every person in society.
Your continual reference to 'perverts' shows you are full of hate as identified by Herenow. Posted by minotaur, Monday, 21 August 2017 12:21:08 PM

By failing to respond to my comments, she also shows herself to be ill-bred and uncivil.
I have asked straightforward, relevant questions, directly relating to her baseless statements. She ignores this, but thought it acceptable to ask the irrelevant question she put, in her post. She does not conduct herself in a manner appropriate to this forum.
