What Now?
The idea of moving west of Toowoomba to QLD's 'gay-free zone' has been seriously considered.

AC,

Is there such a place?

I find living inside my head helps. That way I'm not really affected. I find that I can make queer people go away; they are there but they don't touch me. It gets easier as you get older. You don't really 'need' people. I think some people refer to it as 'hardening your heart'. To survive and to be immune to all this rubbish, you really need to change your attitude towards people. 40% of people are still OK. You don't really need the 60%. You don't have to mates with everybody.

ttbn, don't allow the 'wrongens' to push you around. Stand your ground. You are one of the righteous ones. If you allow them to spread their sickness, we all suffer. Stand your ground, hold true to your views as they are pure and natural and free of anything un-natural. That makes you right not them. They will never admit to their short comings and illness as they are born with a skewed view on life. They will never see that they are wrong, in so many ways, because to agree with us would mean they would have to admit they are wrong. We must give them some pity as they were born the way they are and to them their way is normal. And it may be, to them. Look beyond their arguments and point scoring as they are forced to work much harder to push their point because otherwise they would lose their hold on what little ground they have acquired. Their suffering and pain has already begun. The media has already started reporting a sudden up-surge in poofter bashing, so I think we have reached the end of the debating stage, and now begins the 'reality' stage. They have always suffered at the hand of certain people, and that was when they were relatively inconspicuous. Now they have dared to force themselves into our world, and we don't like it. So they will come to realise that just maybe they reached a little too far this time. As I advised them, for their own good. Keep looking over your shoulder.

Ok Paul and other SSM supporters, what should I do if faced with this situation, which may well be the case.

You see I, like others no doubt who oppose SSM have gay friends, that's right, i'm not a homophobic, and I am dreading the day where I get invited to their wedding, because I will have to decide between my beliefs about marriage, and my friends, which to me is unfair.

Of cause I am not opposed to them getting hitched, just married in the same sense as hetro couples.

Why are you asking us rehctub? They are your friends, it is your decision to be against them being allowed to marry so either put your friendship first OR put your wrong principles first.

See you don't really have a dilemma... You just have a simple decision to make.

Is friendship and the love and happiness of your friends more important?

It's a no brainer for me... I'd go to the wedding!

ttbn isn't righteous... what a ridiculous statement Altrav....You are mentally unstable Altrav...Please seek help!

It's not our world it is also their world...

They haven't forced anything... A postal vote was held to see if Australians would accept same sex marriage ... You lost the intelligent amongst us won.

It was a vote for freedom verses ongoing oppression... You seem happy about the oppression.

If people are born the way they are IT IS NATURAL!

You seem quite at ease that some of the No vote morons are now poofter bashing.... And then you make a threat to the gays by saying "Keep looking over your shoulder"- You are mentally ill!

The beauty of this debate is that it gets the horrid, bigoted, evil minds like yours to out themselves...

I'm hetrosexual, under your weird logic - it is my world too, and I am thrilled that people like you were thrashed in the SSM marriage vote.

You guys are simply bad losers of the worst type!

You now equate righteousness with bigotry and discrimination and are too dumb to see your own stupidity!

Remember YOU LOST!

rehctub,

Are you sure you want to ask fellow travellers of homosexuals for advice on how you should act around these deviants? I know nothing about you, of course, but I have to say that every time I hear someone say they have homosexual friends, I am reminded of anti-Semites claiming that some of "their best friends are Jews", while all the time bad-mouthing Jews at every opportunity. And, claiming you are not a homophobe will not protect you from people who are convinced that you are one. Just be yourself, mate; live your life and let others manage theirs. You do not have to concern yourself with homos. They are too wrapped up in themselves. Not 'minding' if they get married is the same as approving it, by the way. You make out that real marriage is not worth defending.
