I was a high school student 25yrs ago.
Back then there was a ingrained culture of resentment and of making fun of homosexuals.
Most of my high school peers would be around 40 now.
I doubt whether the majority of these men have changed their stance since high school, so exactly what people does this percentage tolerance of gays represent?

I'd suggest it is the younger generation.
The ones who have had so much gay stuff pumped into their minds in every television show that they truly think it's normal.
These younger people will even make fun of you for being straight these days - that's how messed up they are.

Yet we are supposed so sit back and buy into these so-called statistics.

Well I call bs and nothing more than clever social engineering to force other peoples ideals upon us.

Its always the gays that whinge and whine, I bet they work tirelessly to try and force the rest of us to change, and I'd like to know which politicians are accepting donations from gay lobbyists.

Paul we agree for once. Hold a referendum, implement the result, then forget it.

However it is a non issue really. Come the introduction of Sharia law, those homosexuals will be running for the hills, or beheaded, so really just a storm in a teacup, soon to be consigned to history.

david f now you're talking. I'd love to do away with politicians & have an administrator run the country according to which ever ideology won the a plebiscite held every 4 years.

At least we could get rid of the chicane of the senate. I would rather see which ever party/ideology won have all policies implemented as voted for. At least then we should get a good idea quite quickly, which ones worked, & vote accordingly in future.

This is what happens when persons in good conscience decline to participate in the support of homosexuals marriage.

"In 2013, the owners of Sweet Cakes by Melissa, Aaron and Melissa Klein, politely declined to bake a wedding cake for a lesbian couple, as a result of which they were taken to court and charged with discrimination based on sexual orientation.

On Friday, Oregon's Bureau of Labor recommended that the Kleins be fined a total of $135,000 to compensate "for the emotional suffering they [the lesbian couple] experienced."

Seriously?

Because a Christian couple cannot, in good conscience, bake a wedding cake for a homosexual couple, they are fined $135,000?

Let that sink in: $135,000 for not baking a cake.

What if Orthodox Jewish wedding photographers declined a job because it was on the Sabbath?

What if Muslim caterers declined a job because it required pork?

Would they be fined?

Yet these Christian bakers have not just been fined, they have been fined a ridiculous amount.

Really now, what kind of "emotional suffering" did the lesbian couple endure?

The women listed a total of 178 symptoms of their suffering—not 7 or 8 or even 17 or 18, but 178 symptoms—90 from one and 88 from the other.

As reported by Kelsey Harkness, "Examples of symptoms include 'acute loss of confidence,' 'doubt,' 'excessive sleep,' 'felt mentally raped, dirty and shameful,' 'high blood pressure,' 'impaired digestion,' 'loss of appetite,' 'migraine headaches,' 'pale and sick at home after work,' 'resumption of smoking habit,' 'shock,' 'stunned,' 'surprise,' 'uncertainty,' 'weight gain' and 'worry.'"

All this—and much, much more—simply because a Christian bakery said, "It's contrary to our religious beliefs to participate in a same-sex wedding ceremony."

Is it possible that these women were not exaggerating?

Yes it is.

But that doesn't mean that the Kleins should be fined $135,000. Instead, it means we should question the overall emotional stability of these two lesbians since it is almost impossible to believe that they really suffered all this simply because a Christian company said they could not participate in a lesbian "wedding.

Hasbeen, Unfortunately the first "Administrator" who's name is Adolf has, following the burning down of parliament house by The Dissidents, just declared martial law and appointed himself "Administrator" for life. No more voting necessary.

Josephus, "in good conscience" my A, a pair of bigots more likely.

Aaron and Melissa Klan refused to bake a chocolate wedding cake for a black couple because of their conscience.

Aaron and Melissa Blogs refused to bake a rainbow wedding cake for a profoundly disabled couple because of their conscience.

Jake the bus driver made the black couple and the disabled couple stand in the back of the bus because of his conscience.

If you are in the cake baking business you bake cakes for all, regardless, there is no relationship between cake baking and moral judgement. Did these cake bakers have a long list of moral question they asked before agreeing to bake a cake"

Q1 Have you had sex before marriage? (If answer yes no cake)
Q2 Will your future children be brought up in the Christian faith?
(If answer no no cake) etc etc.
I agree with the judge.

Paul,

I don't agree with your heading, I don't even think that any marriage should be compulsory.
Of course you didn't mean that homosexual marriage should be compulsory but, I guess, that as a Green making misleading statements has become a habit.
