one of the main reasons that Indigenous kids fill our prisons is because so few grow up with a father. Just another inconvenient truth.

The idea that the yes campaign is factual is a joke. Does Dr Kerryn Phelps know anything about micro-biology? Of course she does and she is abrogating her responsibilities as a Dr.

If she wants to talk about mental health then why doesn't she talk about suicide rates of gender surgery patients? (Neat little trick that one that onlingy requires a bunch of dodgy journos pretend they haven't got the skills to analyse her words because SHE'S A DOCTOR... which is a whole 'nother trick in itself!!))

The yes vote campaign is the one that is trying to fool our children with non-factual argument. The fake journalists are the ones allowing it to happen.

This is why Trump won the American Presidency: because he took on fake news and it's shonky journos... for they are the ones attacking Western Civilisation!

I didn’t realise that was an assumption held by anyone, Big Nana.

<<Firstly, why does everyone assume that gay couples are any happier or more stable then heterosexual.>>

This sounds like another straw man, to me.

<<The opposite is actually true. The domestic violence rate is higher in same sex and bisexual couples,than in heterosexual couples, and break down of the relationship is common.>>

Could you link me to your sources? As I understand it, it is not easy to conclude one way or the other:

It would hardly be surprise if you were right, though, and one way we can do our bit to reduce the problems in the LGBT community is to stop treating them with discrimination. It’s sociology 101.

<<Secondly, all studies on the effect on children being raised without fathers is very clear.>>

Could you link me to some of these studies? All the studies I’m aware of conclude that the number of parents is the significant factor (i.e. two are better than one), not the sex of the parents.

Anyway, the fact remains that same-sex couples are already having children. So, even if you are right, given the stability that marriage can promote, this is actually argument in favour of same-sex marriage.

the regressives destroyed any rights a child has within its mother's womb so the selishness on steriods continues with the lack of concern outside the womb.

AJP,

Same sex couples can't have children.

Cupric Embarrasment,

They can, and are doing so, with the help of a third party. Do I really need to tell you this?

Some also have children from previous heterosexual relationships.
