Minotaur says:” e enlighten us all as to how allowing same-sex marriage will affect every person in society.”
You do not have to ask stupid questions, Bullhead, you have convinced us in previous posts of your stupidity. Marriage is one of our basic institutions, and is a relationship between a man, and a woman. The basis on which every married person has entered into the covenant is proposed to be changed to include perverts.
It would change the basis of the institution of marriage, for people who have already entered into the covenant on its then basis, so the rights of every citizen will change, some retrospectively, and some prospectively.
Marriage is between a man and a woman. Relationships between perverts are not marriage.
My posts, Bullhead, are fact based.My reference to perverts is factual, not pejorative.
Your baseless assertions when you attempt to insult me are lies. It is all you have, because same sex marriage is a nonsense which does not exist, and marriage inequality is a lie.
When faced with the truth, your only response is baseless insults, because you have no valid or truthful answer

LOL - you claiming other's posts are insulting. Why so much hatred?
Gay marriage is real, whether you can cope with it or not. It's legal in 25 countries. It will be legal here very soon. It's a matter of equality for all consenting adults. After it's legal here, the world will trundle on just as it always has. Even you won't notice the difference.

As usual Leo Lane responds with verbose obfuscation and shows that his assertions are nothing more than uninformed opinion. And hateful, homophobic opinion at that. Although no doubt Mr Lane takes being called a hateful homophobe as a compliment.

Once state recognised same-sex marriage becomes a reality in Australia there will be no great social upheaval as same-sex couples already exist; they already have families; they are part of society as a whole. What will change is that those who choose to marry (there is no compulsion for it) will finally have the same legal protections and rights as heterosexual couples.

The likes of Leo Lane can continue to live in their medieval worlds and keep hating gay people. And also continue to keep writing rants of nothingness.

Let us all be not too precious.
We all know why the Green/Labour knocked the plebiscite on the head.
For those that have been on Mars for the last year;
It was thought to be too likely to fail to pass the SSM proposal.
So someone dreamed up this postal ballot.
No matter which way it goes the losing side will dispute the result.
It is full of security holes.
Such simple tactics as raiding the unit block letter boxes.
You may not be aware that the crims have master keys to most types of
locks. A retirement village had to change 180 locks for a more secure
types and another where my son lives had to all be changed.
What a gold mine for the crims they will sub contract to the gay
movement to supply ballot papers. My guess is a dollar a ballot paper.
Then of course there will be the postie followers.

The same sex marriage re arrangement is of immense benefit to the legal system. If you think the court calendar is choked now, imagine what it's going to be like after with more trying to claim their 'rights'
Other than that, biases will remain and the general opinion of the masses on the matter will remain intact despite vocal claim to the broader mind.
Nothing else will change save for the delusional belief of social equality, which starts in the mind, not in the statutes.

Joe,

The idea that people who do not care should vote 'no' is dumb. If there are people who don't care, then they shouldn't vote at all. Why would they vote 'no'? There's no logic isn that.

Sounds to me like you're still just trying to convince yourself that you don't care.

ALTRAV,

Wow, what a hateful person you are! Sounds like you have some serious psychological issues there.

Sounds like a possible case of repressed homosexuality, too:

No evidence for you claim that gay people suffer from a mental illness, of course. Just a grand display of your own.
