Dear Foxy,

Interesting, and here I was thinking that the problem only really lay with males dressing in more feminine clothing. I’m a little surprised by that.

That the ‘murder’ comment could have been referring to the suicide rate within the gay community (particularly where the youth are concerned) went over my head, too. Although I still think it was a silly and counter-productive comment to make, it makes a lot more sense now.

In other countries where same-sex marriage was introduced, the suicide rates within the gay community dropped by an average of 14%. This isn’t about gay people being snowflakes, as Shockadelic and ttbn naively and callously suggest.

That the hate and lies being flung around by the ‘No’ Campaign could be ‘the straw that breaks the camel’s back’ for some people already suffering from mental illness in the gay community, is understandable and to be expected. There is nothing particularly fragile about that. The suicide rate in the gay communities of countries that had a public debate rose during the debate.

Anyway, whether it’s lefties, Safe Schools, or whether it's the fact that you just can't stand those “bloody poofters”, I hope doing nothing to reduce the suicide rate with an unjustifiable ‘no’ vote will be worth your selfish little vendettas.

On a lighter note, here’s a brilliant send-up of the dishonest ‘No’ Campaign ad. It’s right on point:

Unfortunately one of the leading personalities of the Catholic Church
Fr Gerald Ridsdale will not be able to make an appearance for the 'No Campaigne' this time around. It seems the poor priest has just been banged up for another 3 years for buggering children over a 30 year period! Now 83 and with a 33 year sentence, the pedophile priest is most likely going to cark it in jail. We can only hope so!
For those who are interested, visiting at the prison is on Sundays after chapel.

AJ "as Shockadelic and ttbn naively and callously suggest."

I was being sarcastic. The wink ;) should have made that obvious to Mr Clever.

Another problem with teenage boys in skirts is the eternal Unpredictable Protuberance, that would clearly be visible in a skirt, but can be disguised or hidden by pants.

Yes Foxy there are many types of clothing for men, but those are *other* cultures, so irrelevant to our historical context.

yes Paul if he went to Canada he could share a cell with the paedophile architect of the ' safe' schools program. It seems they were both into gross perversion. Most of Ridsdale victims appeared to be boys.

Dear Shocker,

Actually the various clothing worn by men is very
relevant to the historical context of our nation.
As we had a variety of nations that formed a part
of this country's settlement. Even on the First Fleet.
Our history books tell us that "The First Fleet arrived.
It brought 1000 English convicts. It didn't. It brought
1000 convicts but probably they came from a dozen
different countries. As somebody put it - "English
jails were not respecters of nationality." The first
Italian arrived on January 26, 1788 - Giuseppe Tuso.
There were people from South Africa, there were people
from Ceylon, from India, from Spain, from Portugal,
from Hungary.

We are a society of tremendous diversity.
