Dear AJ,

Here is just another link that confirms what was
stated earlier in this discussion:

http://www.afr.com/news/politics/samesex-marriage-616-per-cent-of-australians-vote-yes-20171114-gzliq6

Facts of biology are no longer reality, opinion is reality according to the Left. Fact is only a man and a woman can procreate with their union. Homosexual unions will never of themselves procreate or be equal in biological reality. If you think you are a woman, born in a man's body; then you are a woman: or think you are a man born in a woman's body then you are a man. It depends on one's opinion not on the factual reality of one's biological birth gender.

Their tactic is to use shame, not facts to prove their reality. Fact is many homosexuals do not want their relationship registered with the Government; funny they do not believe they are second class citizens and unequal to anyone. Those insecure in their relationship want laws to make them feel secure, and remove other opinions by shame as bigotry and hate.

Shame by peers it a typical tactic used to change attitudes, as upon a 15 year old virgin, or an 18 year who has never been drunk or used illicit drugs. Christian Moral Law is irrelevant to the Marxists as there are no absolutes just whatever is the dominant cultural view, like 68%.

Dear Josephus,

The facts remain that
of the 12 million eligible voters in this country close
to 8 million returned an answer YES when asked if same-sex
marriage should be made legal. Australians voted YES
in the same-sex survey by 61.6%. And approx. 4 million
voted NO - 38.4%. The turnout rate was 80%.

ABS Statistician David Kalisch who announced this result
told us that "This is outstanding for a voluntary survey.
It shows how important this issue is for most Australians.
A turnout rate of about 80%. With this high and consistent
participation rate Australians can have confidence that
these stats reflect the view of the population."

Malcolm Turnbull clearly told us that "We must respect the
voice of the people - it is unequivocal!"
"The people have voted YES for marriage equality now its our job
to deliver it."

And that government has done precisely that.
You of course are entitled to your opinions and beliefs.
However, Australians have voted according to their beliefs.
And we must as the PM stated - respect the voice of the people.

Foxy, I need clarification on a major point you quote. Even though statistically it appears your correct.

Factually, I am not so sure.

Everyone is at pains to explain that X% of 'eligible' voters, voted.

It is flawed that you or Turncoat believe 'The people voted YES'.

The 'people' didn't vote. MOST of the people voted. I think it is both important and relevant to keep that at the forefront of any SSM discussion.

Dear ALTRAV,

I don't understand your confusion -
when ABS Statistician David Katisch makes it quite
clear -

Australian have voted YES in the same sex marriage
survey by 61.6 per cent.

What do you not understand about that?

cont'd ...

If you are unclear read the links I have given up above.
