tbbn,
When it comes to perversion I think Christian priests are way, way ahead of everyone else in that department.

In fact they've made it into a very profitable business.

Even Mother Teresa's old order was recently sprung actually selling babies for cash as well as the 800 or so dead children and babies Irish Nuns conveniently dumped into septic tanks - so where's the moral superiority now?

When it comes to the SSM vote the results suggest that a lot of "non-Reds" must have voted for it too. However will we sort them out now?

One definition of this debate is -
Religion - "I'm not allowed to eat pork".
Religious Freedom - "I'm going to get a job at a place that serves pork and make sure that you can't eat pork either".

This recent kefuffle is all about the Wentworth electorate where it turns out the pro-SSM vote was very high and also the Principal of one of the schools in the electorate is gay.
It will all be made to go away again after the bi-election.

Hmm, we are twitchy about priests and young boys and the muslim pearls
but we are quite supportive about declared homosexuals teaching young boys !
Think about how the first case that comes to light will generate of a monumental row.

Hmm, whats that, it is Islamaphobic to refer to the pearls ?
What, you don't know about the pearl divers ?

Yeah Bazz the obvious fact deliberately ignored by the god deniers is that many men the Catholic church employed as priests were homosexuals.

I can't understand why religious schools would have
a problem with gay students. After all - God teaches
to love and accept everyone - doesn't he?

As for gay teachers? Schools should be able to get
rid of teachers who behave inappropriately - gay or
straight, towards their students (male or female).
And as long as a teacher is a good teacher (teaching
Maths - not "Gay Maths") there shouldn't be a problem.

Heterophobia is much more intense then Homophobia.

Dear Foxy,

Being "gay" is a socio-political orientation, not a sexual one.

«I can't understand why religious schools would have a problem with gay students»

I can't understand why anyone would have a problem with homosexual students, but I can definitely see how schools can have a problem with gay students which are often violent and provocative activists, which play "victim" for defiance's sake, who in all likelihood are not even sexually attracted to members of their own gender, but do it just for show and to seek attention.

Similarly, homosexual teachers should be welcome, even encouraged, but gay teachers need to be kicked out because they are immature people who make a big fuss around sexuality and talk about it too much.

«God teaches to love and accept everyone - doesn't he?»

Strive to love everyone, but it doesn't necessarily mean that you should accept their bad behaviour.
