Here is what LGBTI politicians had to say about
the passing of the same-sex marriage bill in
Parliament, in their own words:

It's quite moving.

Not feeling so gay as you once did? Feeling a big let-down? Anticlimax? Lost the highs of virtue-signalling and sledging? YOU could be suffering from Post-SSM Activist Syndrome!

I am really looking forward to doing the reading
"The Art of A Good Marriage" by Wilferd Arlan
Peterson at a close friend's gay wedding next year.
It will mean a great deal.

The words are quite beautiful. And well worth a
Google.

"Happiness in marriage is not something that just happens
A good marruage must be created
In marriage the little things are the big things...

There's more on the web.

Enjoy!

Dear Foxy,

The state's recognition of SSM came at no surprise at all.

Yet, I am disappointed about the collusion between church and state and the resulting preferential treatment and protection of established "religions" over the unprotected personal religious and moral convictions of individuals that are not affiliated with the powerful churches.

«Well - it has passed. Same Sex Marriage is now legal in Australia.»

It always was.

Dear Benq,

«I don't believe businesses should be allowed to refuse to cater without being sued. Businesses owned by religious organisations were exempted and I agree with this.»

So those affiliated with the big organised churches can do whatever the like with impunity, but those who are not might be ordered to break their vows or face the courts (including those who undertook such vows that were perfectly legal at the time). This you consider fair?

Dear Ttbn,

«So, it's now legal»

Why, it was legal all along and no law previously prevented two people of the same gender from marrying.

Nothing changed and nothing happened to the tradition of marriage, because the registration of "marriages" by the state has little to do with the actual fact or otherwise of marriage.

As I previously wrote. Now begins the real test. If the Gaiz think they have won something, good for them. But as history and the records show, in every country where this Gai marriage was passed, there was a sudden and sharp rise in the incidents of VRO's, hospitalisation, separations, divorce, assaults and more bad things all suddenly came from the Gai community and all between the Gaiz. The Gaiz did not think this through. They created a 'shitstorm' and now it will dump very heavily on those who would least expect it. If you recall I gave a 'heads-up' by saying watch out look over your shoulder. To which I was vilified for making veiled threats. If I want to make threats I will do so I don't need to hide behind something like they do. Anyway according to the newspaper of the day, I was right again. The poofter bashing campaign was raised a couple of notches and yes Gaiz got their Christmas jollies a little early this year. So enjoy your new found status, but remember, keep looking over your shoulder!

Foxy, I am surprised at some of the names who were absent from the vote. It smacks of a conspiracy to save face and follow party line. If one is not there to vote, they won't be showing their hand. If that is true then these pollies are hypocrites one and all. Abbott made a big deal about voting NO and when the time came, he wasn't there? It's clear to me that these people are gutless and rather than stand and fight would rather crawl under a rock and shiver in fear. Had these morons voted as they suggested, NO, I wonder what the outcome would have been. Instead it was arranged and agreed behind closed doors, for the greater good of the bloody party, let's sell out Australia to the whims of a very small and irrelevant minority. I'm not the only one who has noticed this let down. I hope it costs them at the next election. As for the SSM act, it's OK we now have time to pick away at the act and slowly amend it to the satisfaction and work-ability of the NO camp and the real Australian majority, not just those in the postal vote.
