Alan B "the Medical science evidence, that there's a gay gene" has nothing to do with social inventions like marriage.

People are genetically left-handed or dwarfed, but most things are designed for the right-handed and regular sized majorities.

This is too bad for the lefties and dwarves.
They can't expect everything to be modified to suit them, and neither can gays.

NNN,

Fortunately the fossils are totally non conductive, and can see the truth of the matter through the envelope window, well before it reaches its potential million ohms!

It's power to the people and AGL partners with Malcolm/Tony in bed with Bill calling STD NBN GST adopting the Irish position.

But they're not restricted to the tall and dexterous. It may not always be advisable - a lefty using a right-handed screwdriver could do himself a serious mischief - but is rarely forbidden. Except for dwarves and roller-coasters, but that's a safety issue.

What we don't do is restrict important rights because them midgets and leftys ain't like us decent normal folk. Nobody says to lefties 'sorry, you can't drive a manual car because they're designed for righties'; nobody says to dwarves on election day 'sorry, buddy, if you can't reach the flimsy cardboard desk in the polling booth you don't get a vote', and nobody says 'sorry, dwarves and/or lefties, you can't get married because you're in a minority'. Nobody says things like that, even though as the majority in a democracy, we could certainly band together and prevent lefties driving or dwarves voting through the power of our majority. But we don't.

Frankly, restricting rights simply on the basis that some classes of people have lower statistical frequency than others is just plain mental. Everybody is in a minority of some sort. I like bagpipe music, which definitely puts me in a minority. What rights do you think I should be deprived of?

*...Malcolm/Tony in bed with Bill calling STD...*

Q:

Is that STD for sexually transmitted disease, applicable to Bill and Malcolm going gay together, and showing no inclination to lay straight in bed; or is it STD for standard, the appalling state of Australian democracy under a two party system?

yes
