Well done, Stu. Form an attitude [seemingly a derogatory one] about a political organisation maybe a bit different to your own, based only on your own assumptions. Play the man, not the ball. Come on Stu, as the founder? of a new party, you can do better than that.

"I had a conversation with a passionate Green supporter at gym the other day and he is amazed that people would vote Famillies First
when we share so many issues in common. But as I explained to him, Christians have little interest in a party led by a practicising open homosexual who is on record as OPPOSING the restriction on availability of XXX rated porn by mail order from ACT when every state has outlawed it."

Well, Boaz, one thing we can perhaps agree on. Both Bob Brown and Steve Fielding leave us in no doubt about where they stand on various so-called moral issues, which is more than can be said about some of the slimy people on all sides of politics. But Bob is Pro-Choice and Steve is Anti-Choice, so I have no problems whatsoever in deciding where my voting allegiance lies.

Whether we believe that God made Bob, or that Bob simply evolutionised or something, then I accept that he was born with his sexuality and he is entitled, within the limits of Australian law, to live his own life. And be judged on his public performance in his chosen profession, rather than on his private life.

Funny thing, but many Christians would also accept that Bob was born gay and entitled to live his own life. Particularly those Christians who are themselves gay, or who have gay friends or family members, or who simply believe in Christian charity and goodwill to all men and women.

But, like I suggested earlier, we can learn things from GetUp, even if all we learn is that we rarely or ever agree with them.

I too receive emails from GetUp and depending on the issue at hand as to wether I respond or not.

I think they do a good job highlighting certain issues and it is heartening to know we can have a say if we want to.

Regardless as to who is behind it, its a good thing.
