Celivia,

I do agree that those choosing to live as homosexuals have a right to do whatever they please in private. What I object to is the condoning and promotion of such a unhealthy, unnatural lifestyle especially to the young and vulnerable. Many practicing this lifestyle end up in hospitals with all sorts of infectous diseases. Just visit any infectious disease unit if you need any evidence. From this point alone it is easy to see how unhealthy the lifestyle is. To suggest that people can have same sex marriages is an insult to God and to the family as He designed it from the beginning.

From a Christians viewpoint sin is sin. Whether it is adultery, lying, fornication or sodomy they all keep people out of the kingdom of God. The apostle Paul refers to those who were once caught up in these lifestyles but are now forgiven because of Christs sacrifice and the willingness of the people to turn from these sinful lifestyles. He warns them not to turn back to these lifestyles. God's wisdom in prohibiting homosexuality is plainly seen by the consquences of those practicing this lifestyle.

Many who practice homosexuality often play the victim card. They claim they are bashed, hated, rejected etc etc. I do not condone any of this but I still hate the behaviour. I and many others feel disgusted with the way some homosexuals unashamedly promote their perverted lifestyle in events such as Mardi Gras. Other minorities such as Christians are often hated, labelled and rejected because they don't conform. 'Gays' are not the on;y ones victimised in Australia.

I hope Australia has not slipped as far down the slope as to accept gay marriage. Next will be polygamy and then 'consensual' relationships with minors. We have enough perversion thrown in our face without this one.

Marriage is about the raising of children,the next generation that will hold up this fragile umbrella called civilisation.

How many of the self indulgent,over sexed ego-centric gay trendies have an inkling about the sacrifice that is required to raise a child.To many gays,children are just another appendage,that stimulates their egos like the passing parades of new parteners that makes them suseptable to all manner of whims and disease.

Marriage is about the normality of having two parents of the opposite sex,who on averge give children a more balanced perspective in confronting life's challenges.The mono sexual mentality of same sex parteners cannot possibility give a balanced view of the world to children who are not of the same sexual orientation.

Homosexual orientation is the preference of a minority,so why are they dictating their prefrences as being a societal norm?

couldn't agree more arjay. well stated.

Any two people who love each other and wish to enter into a formal, monogamous relationship should be entitled to the protection of the law in respect of all aspects of that relationship. Therefore, I am in favour of binding personal covenants between homosexual couples, recognised by law. What I can't understand is why homosexuals would want to be specifically recognised in a relatioship called "marriage", which is a term coined by organised religions that have for hundreds of years only vilified gays. (Yes, male homosexals only, as churches have almost wholely refused to recognise that female homosexuals exist!)

I'll bet some of the posters above are from the gay, Leftoid side of society. Perhaps even from that pink Lavatos site.

If thats the case, what are you doing over here. Trying to find some new blood perhaps, or are you just trying to get in touch with the real world. The place where Mr & Mrs Average hang out. But why: i'd say so that you can beat up on them with your gay rabid violence, and twisted vitriol.

Nobody cares for Gay stuff mostly, and trying to convert the nation to accept it is just plain -well- gay.

Or perhaps your presence is more about the political assualt upon the nation by Leftiods. And because you havent yet got a well paid job in the bureaucracy. Perhaps you need to beat up on society with your fetishes, until some-one spots a gap in the rakns for you to slip into.

And where is all this anti-gay bullying anyway, accept in you own bent minds, and the * ?

Holyshadow,

It is my opinion that homosexuality is a perversion. Nothing scientific or provable about an opinion, but I’ll tell what is scientific: the sexual organs of males and females are different to facilitate procreation. Sex is also good fun. If it weren’t, the human race would die out. But, the breeding function comes before the fun bit.

No. While I find anal sex of any kind pretty awful, what people of the opposite sex do is entirely up to them. I understand that some cultures practise it for family planning reasons. Homosexuals have no such excuse. There is nothing to be gained in dragging in what goes on between men and women. The whole idea of same sex relations is an abomination to me, and I really can’t say more than that.

I’m sure it helps you to believe that my opinions/beliefs/attitudes are based on “fear and ignorance and a very closed mind”, but that is simply not the case. I think that you are trying to put me down to make you feel better about your own opinions. Be my guest. And, I think you will find that more people on this site will listen to what you believe than the “nasty negatives and stuff bandied about” by me; they also think that any opinion other than theirs must be “nasty” or “negative”. You are not a victim; neither is your brother. Homosexuals and their supporters have even convinced governments of their “rights”, much to the detriment of society as I have already stated.

On your brother, have you any evidence at all that he was “born gay”? I have never found any, and the general consensus is that being born with your “wires crossed” is a very rare event, although it does happen.

Finally, I disagree with your contention that people would not “burden” themselves with the “label”. Think about the benefits to social misfits – who might or might not be homosexual – in legislation of rights. Some people are odd
