Paul,
We well know your distain for the Christian Bible. The image is of Gehannah rubbish dump outside Jerusalem where waste was discarded and burned. It envisaged the unclean and waste from society is unacceptable in a healthy society.

' Where are the above all going, accord to the happy group of fundo's? Straight to hell.'

again extremly selective Paul. That is where all mankind who have rejected Christ's great sacrifice is going. Why pick on those practicing homosexuality for this one? You have to be totally ignorant not to acknowledge the corrupt nature of man (including conservatives).

Dear butch,

You wrote;

“steel, I'm guessing my interpretation of the word 'queer' is wrong, as to me, anyone who lives a ss lifestyle is queer. My apologies.”

Well here lies the quandary my friend. You exhibited scant respect for an important identifying word for the LGBTIQ community and used it as a broad label for anyone you deem should be included within it.

You have apologised which is great, but to be then railing against the word marriage to be allowed to include loving committed couples of the same sex kinda rings a bit hollow I'm afraid.

But let's put that aside for the moment.

Look I get that there is a journey that many of us of a certain generation (and older) have to go through to come to the conclusion that extending marriage rights to same sex couples is a fair and just thing to do. I went on that same journey albeit many years ago. Further I accept that some, given the societal norms of their formative years will never complete this path which is okay. What I really ark up about is those in their twenties, thirties and even forties who are so adamantly voting 'No'. We hopefully live in more enlightened times and the fact that they seem to be able to construct an argument for themselves which allows them to do so is infuriating.

So mate I understand your reticence and respect your right to make the decision you have. I would ask that you don't feel you never have to revisit this again because of how you voted this time. Perhaps just being open to rethinking this issue in the future is enough.

SteeleRedux, "The proportion of hetero-sexual(sic) couples who engage in anal sex for whatever reason is around a quarter"

Sounds like a boosted number, but notwithstanding that, what proportion of the affected women would choose it if it were up to them though?

How many girls and young women should be receiving counselling and support because they are being tricked and forced to submit to the demands of males who are being misled by pornography and activists who are trying to normalise anal sex?

To cater for males who want to humiliate and dominate women, internet pornography sites would have numerous examples of sex that abuses women. Where women are being denied reliable contraception and control of their body that is also abuse.

leoj,
Anal sex is taught to 12 year olds in Victorian and 24 and increasing NSW Schools as normal sexual behaviour. Just wait till the Government has to fork out for the increase in bowel rupture, HIV and vaginal infections and for increased number of children having promiscuous sex and pregnancy.

Too imagine it is only old people voting NO is a fallacy as many mothers are equally concerned for the next generation following the advice of Roz Ward.

WE need to expose this discrimination imposed on anyone opposing these views because when SSM is legal subjects like this will become criminal offenses.

I read last night about a group of law students in Canada who are facing calls for a ban on their right to practise law because their Christian college has not conformed to LGBT confirmation. Now, Canada under Trudeau is a very stick country, but its the sort of sickness that spreads, and it is bound to infest Australia sooner or later.

In America, there is a organisation called 'Human Rights Campaign Foundation – an LGBT pressure group, which publishes an annual report called the 'Corporate Equality Index'. In 2016, over half of the top 20 U.S companies had a perfect score. Failing to score high is considered a serious problem in corporations. A company that is looking for approval needs to prove that it is ADVANCING LGBT in the workplace!

There is what they call the “ally” phenomenon: which has straight people declaring themselves to be supporters of the LGBT agenda. They also IDENTIFY DISSENTERS.

The author of this book believes that soon, all workers “will be frog-marched through 'diversity and inclusion' training.

He also refers to a Evangelical ethicist, David Gushee, who bellows: “Neutrality is not an option. Neither is polite half-acceptance. Nor is avoiding the subject. Hide as you might, the issue will come and find you”.

Is this what we have to look forward to from our fellow Australians of the Left?
