Joe,

We've been through this five times already. Whether interracial marriages have been legal in Australia is irrelevant to my analogy, and I have explained why many times now.

<<Please leave this odious comparison with homosexual marriage alone.>>

I will, just as soon as you explain to me why it is not valid (let alone “odious”). That you don't like it is hardly a reason. As I have pointed out, too, it is rather homophobic to label the comparison "offensive" or "odious".

Please, this is just getting ridiculous now. Either put up or shut up.

Big Nana,

That depends on what you mean by “many”.

<<Many young people do not support SSM.>>

Too “many” to cram into your average house? Sure. A majority? No, and all the polling during the survey confirmed this.

The sad part of this sick and sorry saga is that we are dealing with a very determined bunch of 2 to 3 year olds, (the YES camp). If per-chance Aussies vote NO, I am sickened by the fact that the YES camp will not only keep up this barrage of abuse and vilification but when the the elections come next we are going to get another bunch of sick'os taking over. (labour) And they have made it an election promise to bring in the queers bill once elected. For those of you out there who still possess a modicum of decency and morality and believe the YES vote is the right thing to do, please look up the article on Massachusetts and what these disgusting and demented people have done as a result of their sick push for so called marriage equality. It makes for life changing reading. The number of decent lives they have attacked and scarred, is historic. If we don't reject these sick individuals we will end up the same way. Given that their type of mentality or attitude is to win at all cost and to hell with anyone who dis-agrees, I say this. You YES freaks may win this battle but guess what, the NO camp is not going to let you enjoy your ill gotten victory. You will be attacked, even physically, at random, day or night. You will be shunned openly and denied things that 'normal' people will otherwise enjoy. We don't give a s#!t about the law, because the law will be seen wanting if it proceeds to give queers rights and priority over normal decent people. Looking over your shoulders, will become the norm for you.

Dear ALTRAV,

It appears that most Australians disagree with
your point of view as the results of the postal
survey clearly show.

ALTRAV,

You sound like a very sick and twisted person. I mean, threatening ‘Yes’ voters with physical violence (How will you ‘No’ mob identify who voted ‘yes’, by the way?).

I liked this bit, though:

<<... I am sickened by the fact that the YES camp will not only keep up this barrage of abuse and vilification …>>

“Abuse”. That's adorable. It reminds me of this Betoota Advocate article:

‘Man Who Used To ‘Bash Poofters’ For Fun Says Leftie Bullies Turned Him Off Voting Yes’

//You will be attacked, even physically, at random, day or night... We don't give a s#!t about the law//

It's good thing is this all just empty bravado.

Because otherwise you will be caught, arrested, charged and accommodated at Her Majesty's pleasure where your cell mates will use you as currency because you're a sad little coward.

Toni L, not really caring what you queers have to say. I feel I must respond as a matter of duty. My comments are taken from articles written long before this debacle began. As you are all so keen on the origins of the material quoted here, I will again remind you of one very reputable source. It is all collated and clearly set out with headings and everything so that even the YES camp can understand it. It is a collection of stories written from early 2000 when Massachusetts passed the queers bill. One of the best and most striking of passages was the one where soon after the bill was passed till today the incidents of violence, attacks, deaths between these wonderful queers, went through the roof. There has been a dramatic increase in VRO's. So much for love.
OH and another thing. This was not a 'resounding' victory for the YES mob. Less than half the voters responded. Of them 60% voted YES. Not a real spill. The other little reality check is in the form of the thing the YES camp fear more than kryptonite,and that is the, wait for it, THE CONSCIENCE VOTE. So you NO people we're not finished yet. The true religious polys will obviously vote NO so we'll see how many 'soft cocks' will suddenly sprout a backbone and vote how they truly feel or believe in: NO!
