Dear Boazy....

welcome back..

but why are you still lying about who you are?

The problem for pro-market political parties such as the Liberals here, the Republicans in America or Conservatives in Britain is that they espouse the free market when it comes to economic activity but seem to want to go out of their way to restrict the rights of gays. The Liberals in 2004 had the idea of amending the Marriage Act to explicitly exclude same-sex marriage. The US Republican President attempted to get a constitutional ban on same-sex marriage. The conservatives introduced Clause 28 in Britain's Local Government Act outlawing any vaguely pro-gay literature. It doesn't seem to make sense given that gay people are workers and consumers (and indeed often vote for those very parties).

But it does make sense when you consider that adherence to the ideology of the family (Mum, Dad who are legally married and the kids) is also essential to maintaining the power base of these parties.

So there is a contradiction. Freedom in the marketplace is okay but not when it comes to personal life choices. Interestingly, people over at the very pro-capitalist Institute of Public Affairs will support things like same-sex marriage. But of course the IPA doesn't stand for office and is not intimidated by the Catholic Church, the Australian Family Association and other conservative lobby groups.

Runner,
Ask that same Doctor how unhealthy heterosexual sex can be?
Hepatitis alphabet, cervical cancer, herpes, NSU, syphilis, Aids, Gonerea etc.
Then ask Christians how many are virgin on virgin at marriage…the blind leading the blind,one might say Ouch!
Do you have missionary sex all the time or do you experiment? Oral sex perhaps? That can be unhealthy too for that matter so can kissing.

In short life is a risk. If you have self imposed artificial standards that’s fine …what you do in your bedroom is you and your partners business and no one else’s. Likewise you have no right (even in your Bible) to look down on, pontificate at or demand compliance to you views of others. They’re not affecting you so mind your own business. To me it is enough that people express their love to their partners. Like the old song says "what the world need now is love" (more love) not supercilious judgement

'. Likewise you have no right (even in your Bible) to look down on, pontificate at or demand compliance to you views of others.'

Just thought you would put your point of view did you examinator just as the gay lobby continually does.

You write 'what the world need now is love" (more love) not supercilious judgement'

Too right the world needs love, not men and women totally blinded by their own lusts trying to change laws to further denigrate our nation.

Just thought you would put your point of view did you 'runner' just as the 'catholic church' continually does.

You write 'what the world need now is love" (more love) not supercilious judgement'

Too right the world needs love, not men and women totally blinded by their own 'stupid, pointless discrimination' trying to 'keep' laws to further denigrate our 'citizens'.

(Diggin that hypocrisy runner, keep it up).

Homosexuality seems to present a
recurring issue of debate for so
many people.

The behaviour however occurs all
over the world and throughout
history, although its form,
acceptability, and apparent extent
vary greatly from one society or
culture to another.

Perhaps instead of denigrating people
we could just stop for a moment and
remember that they, obviously, all
have to be somebody's child, parent,
cousin, co-worker, teacher, neighbour,
friend, or fellow student...
