Belly,

"... but a few lost soles want us to think bigotry is normal"

You don't really mean that do you?

Lost soles don't think.

Hey Foxy,
You agreed that fairness is important.
I think it's not only unethical to try to impose discrimination idealism and virtue signalling unfairly, but done in such an unfair manner is akin to a direct attack on one particular religion, Christianity, and that, is an attack on the family an attack on good ethics and an attack on our morals and fabric of decency in our society.

You said you believe in fairness.

Tell me is a gay infidel permitted to enter a mosque or are they discriminated against and not permitted?

If a gay man were to groom and have anal sex with a Christian Pastors legal age son, would that Church Pastor be permitted to ban the gay man from attending church, or would that be discrimination?

You can't stop discrimination.
Even the gays themselves want to go and discriminate against those who don't agree with them.

This whole thing to me seems like the concept of 'imposing my beliefs upon you' so that one is not permitted to act according to their own beliefs and/or conscience and must follow the rules;

Rules meant to make us all the same
Like good little slaves and powerless to other people's globalist agenda.

If the options are to EITHER admit gay etc. students, OR to throw them off of tall buildings, I would certainly support their right to enrol in any schools they like. I would sternly punish any school authority who threw gays off the top of tall buildings. Or beheaded any student for some supposed insult to the prophet. Like touching someone else's food bowl or water bowl. [But that brings us unavoidably to the plight of that poor Christian woman in Pakistan, and I should understand that Muslim rights over-rule women's rights. Sorry]

I also support the freedom of expression, i.e. no harassing, no threatening, no megaphoning, in all schools. And in public too. Like universities should be doing. How can you find out the truth if you don't let anybody but your own 'kind' speak ? Yes, your own 'kind' may be virtuous like you, good, pure, righteous people, but still ....

Oops, I forgot - such 'kind' aren't interested in exhaustively uncovering the truth: they have a point of view, a narrative, a prejudice, and that's that. Any alternative view is Satanic. Nobody shall criticise or analyse theirs, ever.

What the hell is this world coming too - right and left corrupting debate and and search for truth, each smug in its own pig-ignorance. Please, please find me a desert island somewhere.

I've just come across an article by satirist and comedian
Ben Pobjie on this subject.

Enjoy:

Yuyutsu as I said we will not agree,well not often Foxy,s post has it right the Rudock report should be tabled after Saturday.
Big swing on against Liberals but in truth if they lost that seat it would be extraordinary, unlikely.
Watched question time, both sides do a brilliant job of looking stupid.
ScoMo wounded by this mornings polls shouted his same old position over and again
Timely thread and just a reminder the voters usually get it right and firmly reject the thought of bias based on sexual choice

Dear Belly,

Why have you addressed this story about the Liberal party and the coming by-elections particularly to me? What have I got to do with it?

And what is it exactly that we fail to agree on?
Is it that you think that I support bigots and nothing would convince you otherwise?
Or is it that you still believe that the plebiscite question was correctly worded and made logical sense?

Ruddock's recommendation regarding school policies and homosexual pupils seems balanced to me, so I support it - I don't care about the small-politics on when it will be tabled.
