The people on here who are still referring to gay people as queer are actually the queer ones.

They are queer between their ears... bigotted and dense would be a better term for them.

Many are worrying about religious sensibilities... I say who cares about the feeble religious amongst us.

Why do the religious get a big say?

They believe GOD drowned innocent babies, and innocent children in a flood that never happened, they say God killed all the first born of Egypt when that never happened and they use fear to scare children by teaching about hell that doesn't exist and Satan who doesn't exist.

If anything religions are anti-God!

Finally love has defeated you...lmao

Marriage equality is simply a legalised structure where two loving people can share their love and commitment. It's that simple!

You lost!

Fair, honest caring Australians won!

Is Mise,

You admit that you cannot give me an example then, in the next breath, you repeat your unsubstantiated claim.

Yes. The simple-minded have enabled people of the same sex to 'marry', and Turnbull is so overcome with joy that he will be even less interested in Australia as it goes down the gurgler. However, homosexuality still remains disgusting and unnatural - that will never change.

What is next? The manipulators and spin doctors have convinced the idiots that it's desirable for people of the same sex to play house; who can predict what will become 'normal next. Incest? Bestiality? Polygamy? Some as yet undiscovered perversion? We really shouldn't be discriminating against anyone, should we?

The ridiculous little loudmouth, Derryn Hinch, was heard to say yesterday that 'the sky had not fallen in' when other countries went pervert. What a silly thing to say. The damage will be gradual and permanent, and most of the morally jaded population will not even notice. The young, who will grow up accepting that this vile behaviour is normal, will have their beliefs shattered by Islam, against which we are losing the war. 30,000 terror attacks since 9/11 and increasing, while the West sinks down into it's sell-dug Cass pit.

Hopefully, this will herald the end of all discrimination in this country and we can get on with the task of creating true equality.

Absolutely - let's stop discrimination and have welfare based on needs only - and not race based.

ttbn,

"Can you give an example where homosexuals have been 'excommunicated' simple for being homosexual?"

No, but the Catholic Church excommunicates them if they refuse to give up homosexual practices.
Other Christian Churches have much the same outlook and the major Christian Churches all condemn homosexuality"

Your question was answered, I cannot give an example where homosexuals were excommunicated simply for being homosexual but they have been excommunicated for continuing homosexual practices, which is an entirely different thing.
In simple terms they are not excommunicated for being but for doing.

Dear Josephus,

Exactly: "legal marriage" and marriage are two completely different things.

«This would allow Churches, Synagogues, Temples and Mosques to bless and celebrate the union of two people in a religious ceremony after the contracts of intention to live together have been registered with the State.»

Why "after" rather than "before" or "instead"?

And BTW, Jews do not usually marry in synagogue (unless the building happens to also have a nice big hall) and technically, both the blessing part and the celebrations are optional: all that is required is a male groom over 13, a female bride over 12, a ring (bought with the groom's own money and worth at least two cents) and two eligible (sane, not deaf, over 13, Jewish and male) witnesses. Contrary to common belief, a Rabbi is not required.
