History shows same-sex marriage plebiscite unnecessary and out of step : Comments

By Rebecca Ananian-Welsh and Chris Peppel, published 17/8/2017

Our 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.

Being married is not a prerequisite for marriage and there is no mention of children in the Marriage Act, Bazz. And your opinions don't represent any fact so therefore less than worthless.

Really, ALTRAV?

<<I am not going to respond to your questions because I have done so again and again.>>

Well, I am disappointed that I missed where you cited evidence for homosexuality being a genetic defect or a mental disorder. Another thread, I assume. You certainly haven't explained how I’ve supposedly deflected, though.

Perhaps another time then, eh?

<<I thank all the 'Nay sayers' for having the courage to tell it like it is.>>

You are yet to demonstrated that ‘it’ is anything like you say it is.

<<Shockadelic and Jayb, good to hear your views.>>

Shockadelic is gay. You’ve just accused him of being mentally ill. But I’m sure he appreciates you opinion of his views, at least.

<<I am a little dis-appointed that they will not concede at least one or two points but stand fast in their totally un-natural views and life style.>>

Ah, that’s another point you haven’t addressed: what’s nature got to do with it, and how do you know that homosexuality is not natural?

You still have it all to prove. So where do you get off asking others to concede anything?

<<… we will continue to see changes in the world that are going to further divide the people to the point that they will slowly take matters into their own hands.>>

Oh? Coming time for some poofter bashing, eh? You people are disgusting.

Minotaur,

I know it’s ultimately pointless, but I do enjoy holding up the irrationality of their position to the light.

Bazz,

You appear to be confused about which genes control what. You also don’t seem to understand what exactly marriage is, and would presumably deny it to infertile couples.

Your reasons for voting ‘no’ are terrible.

Not really AJPh, I think you would be hard put to deny that the "gay"
trend is not a fashion.
I do not think that there is any doubt that genes define your sex.
I think genes are far more likely to do that then fashion.

Re infertile couples. mostly they are unaware until the find they
cannot conceive and if they are older it is for companionship & love.
Still, they are a man & woman.

AJPhillips says:” given that you were unable to substantiate that claim every other time you made it, too.

Here is a copy of one of the times I have substantiated the fact:
“AJP seems to have difficulty with the fact that homosexuals are perverts.
The definition of perversion is the starting point:
Perversion:Distortion or corruption of the original course, meaning, or state of something:
https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/perversion.

On the basis that the original course of the anus is to function as an aperture for discharge of body waste, the insertion of a penis in the waste duct is a
corruption of the original course, or state, thus a perversion. The persons committing the act are perverts. The evidence is their own coming out as homosexual.. The acts of perversion will vary with different individual homosexuals, but they are all perverts.

Your purporting to limit the basis of my answer was of no consequence, AJP, I simply felt disinclined to bear the tedium of answering a question to which the answer is self evident to any rational person. You are not entitled to object to the description of “idiot boy”. It is appropriate and accurate, in light of your idiotic pressing of the question.

Phillips response was to lie again, saying that I had no”evidence” for my self evident statement, making no effort to show that any of my assertions were not correct, as they certainly areright in every particular.
He also presses the lie of marriage inequality. Perverts have no status in marriage, which is a relation ship between a man and a woman, so perverts have no status in the question. Same sex marriage is a non existent nonsense, and a main platform in the baseless argument for perversion of society

I sure hope that LGBTs are happy with where gay activists have taken them, bracketing marriage as The Big Issue that was denying them rights, safety, recognition, public acceptance, a happy life, the moon and stars and so on.

The Gillard Labor government had already proclaimed as an achievement that it had removed all forms of discrimination against gays, changing twenty-seven or so Acts, a mammoth enterprise and giving full recognition and entitlements as marrieds through changed de facto (common law marriage) arrangements.

If SSM gets up and it seems it will, gays will be seen as mainstream in all ways possible, bar none. With that comes responsibility for self-emancipation and self-empowerment. Or more bluntly, stop politicising gender and sexual identities, stop blaming 'the public', stop asking for special treatment and get on with life. -Like everyone else and recognising that there are always many other individuals who are not as well off in the world and in Australia.

Not making any value or moral judgements, just saying..
