By Mitchell Barrington, published 31/10/2017

Yet manyof us simultaneously hold beliefs about how others’ private lives ought to conform to our standards.

Foxy,

"What does that have to do
with their right to be equal under the law of the
land."

They are equal under the law of the land, nothing stops them from entering the married state if they comply with the law.

Even if the mythical social contract put forward by Michael applied, would it not be necessary to obtain the agreement of everyone who had ever entered into a marriage to agree to such a fundamental change in a contract already in existence?
Better yet, he could simply observe that the yes case rested on the lie of inequlity, and the non-existent nonsense of “same sex marriage”. Marriage is a union between members of the opposite sex. “same sex marriage is a nonexistent nonsense

Why all the fuss?

Solution, let all the gay men marry women and the gay women, men, problem solved, no need for a survey or vote.

Move along, nothing to see here!

I vaguely remember a story I heard a long time ago, it went something like this; Once upon a time there was a village with a king and the usual castle and so on. A witch doctor was passing through one day. At some point he upset the king, who immediately banished him from his kingdom. Before leaving, in retaliation and to spite the king, he spiked the only well which was the only source of water for the people. The people started showing symptoms of mental instability and gradually turned against the King. The King set about to find out what was making the people 'nut jobs'. Once he found the cause and there was no antidote he decided the only course of action was to drink from the well himself. He did, and then he also turned 'nuts', and they all lived happily ever after. It was later classified as a mental institution. This is where we are headed if we let the 'nut jobs' infect our politicians, schools, children, etc

Forget left handers I am looking forward to not serving cake to any gingers in future. Damn useless minority. They should be forced to conform to the dominant hair colours and stop offending us with their gingerness.

Wont be long and you godbotherers will be the minority and the rest of us can force you to conform to logic and reason.
You wont mind will you?

Keep your idiotic beliefs out of other people bedrooms or expect to be restricted in your own private lives in future.

I think you've been drinking from the well. The NO camp does not care what disgusting things the queers get up to in their bedrooms or closets for that matter. We the YES camp don't care what you do to each other, it's what you are forcing us to do by accepting your demands whether we like it or not, all under the guise of equality and fairness and all the other crap you have dreamed up that has no relevance to this debate. Let's clear up something again. You're not equal! You are equal to each other not normal healthy people so shut up with that one. It's easier for me to point out that the Yes camp has NO CASE to argue and it is reflected by how strongly they are trying. If they were right, they would not have to say too much nor attack and vilify the NO voters. The only reason this will eventually get oxygen is purely and simply because of two types of people. The first are politicians they would kill their mother to be in govt. The second is gutless non-people who are too scared to stand up to these slime-bags. If they had the guts to say NO to their faces they don't want the barrage of BS and threats they will have to endure from the YES crap. I wish someone would look up the Massachusetts story, it's a real eye opener. I know for a fact the YES camp do not want it out there because it will crucify them and their lies.
