What Now?
The idea of moving west of Toowoomba to QLD's 'gay-free zone' has been seriously considered. [Posted by Armchair Critic]

You don't have to go that far mate. Brisbane is developing some ethnically cleansed Muslim only suburbs these days. Nothing like Sydney, but quite a few.

Grow a big beard, die it black, add a bit of synthetic tan & you should fit in, if you keep your mouth shut. Of course you could wear a berka, but the cure may be worse than the disease going that far.

One thing you can be sure of, you wont find any blokes cuddling each other in those suburbs.

Dear Hassie,

Here's a link giving us another perspective:

Josephus,

Thanks for the link but it appears that the white feather stupidity was over by the 1920s, still I get your meaning.

White feathers were still being handed out in WWII.

Josephus, get over yourself. Not one single "no" voter will be subjected to the hardships routinely experienced by those who (correctly) refused the impositions of conscription. If their beliefs are so strict as to make dealing fairly with the public too hard, they can simply do something else, a choice that was not available in the conscript situations you see fit to compare.

Gays were once extended the supposedly generous option of "keeping it behind closed doors". Do you not find that sufficiently generous?

Glad you mentioned that Issy, yes first hand accounts at the time of fire hoses been used in prison on conscientious objectors . Also I have no reason to doubt the claim that faeces and urine was spread in cells by the military types guarding my peace loving friends. If you were an objector to the war, you were branded a communists. Those times were a blight on Australia's history.

I don't expect anyone will turn fire hoses or throw crap (literally) at people today who might be conscientious objectors to SSM.

Just personally, I was a little surprised by our niece on the weekend who is staunch Mormon, she even did a mission for 18 months on a Pacific Island, "E" knew uncle the Greenie voted yes, she could not vote herself, NZ citizen. I was surprised that she also supports gay marriage, with her religious convictions as they are. "E" gave me her reasons and they were logical, but surprising. She knows she is in the minority within her church, but accepts that.
