FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Same sex couples are being denied a fundamental right in a country that claims a fair go for all, simply because of their sexuality.
As Senator John Faulkner said: “A conscience vote on human rights is unconscionable.”
Although 208 Labor MPs voted for marriage equality, a shameful 184 voted against it.
And for so many members this was not about morals or religion or even marriage itself – it’s about one thing only: votes.
Despite polls repeatedly showing 60 per cent of Australians support gay marriage, our politicians are convinced they’re going to lose their jobs over allowing a couple of chicks to get hitched.
Both parties seem convinced that “middle Australia” is sitting around all day fretting that Adam and Steve or Madam and Eve might one day be allowed to walk down an aisle.
And the most absurd thing is that the minority to whom they are pandering are not going to be affected in any way whatsoever.
If two dudes marry, no one else’s life is going to change.
Despite what some Christian groups claim, if two sheilas exchange vows, the world will not end.
And if you do oppose gay marriage, I’d hazard a guess that you don’t have any gay friends, so you won’t even be troubled with annoying bridal gift registries. Life will continue as normal.
And for gay people, life will be better – they’ll have the chance to publicly celebrate their commitment to one another and a greater legal security for both themselves and their children.
They’ll also get loads of presents and a chance to get hammered with all their friends at their parents’ expense.We already allow all sorts of same-same unions.
Redheads can marry redheads. Bogans can marry bogans. Journalists can marry journalists.
On paper each of these sounds slightly frightening, but in reality, it’s not going to affect anyone but those two people, who can live in a bubble of bogan bliss till divorce do they part for all anyone else cares.
Families have changed a lot in the past 50 years.
Divorce, now so commonplace one in three Aussies are signing up for one, was once considered quite the scandal.
It was also not so long ago that women were encouraged to resign from their jobs the moment a guy got down on one knee.
Our country has changed with the times – except on this one issue.
Progress has been made with yesterday’s decision.
Though we must now see if the Liberals agree to a conscious vote or enough of their members have the guts to cross the floor.
In the lead-up to the ALP conference, Queensland voted to allow same sex civil unions, in legislation that aligns them with Tasmania, Victoria, the ACT and NSW.
This is a step in the right direction too, but we’re still not quite there.
While civil unions do increase a couple’s rights, they are still not recognised worldwide as marriage is.
It’s disappointing that the Territory has not weighed in on the debate.
With the exception of Senator Trish Crossin who supports same-sex marriages, our pollies are unusually quiet on the issue.
As the movement towards marriage equality gains momentum, maybe now is the time to discard our redneck reputation down south and be proactive.
Statistics show that 67.2 per cent of Territorians support gay marriage.
It was once suggested by this newspaper that the NT legalise same-sex unions and require a two-week registration period – forcing the happy couples to spend their honeymoon in the Territory, which would be good for tourism.
Same sex marriage is going to happen, so why don’t we just sign off on it now?
Who knows, allowing homosexuals to tie the knot might even improve Australia’s dismal marriage stats.
All we’re talking about here is a couple of words being removed from the Marriage Act.
And a couple of other words being introduced into the gay vernacular: “I do”.
For the sticklers who look to the definition of marriage: “the legal union of a man with a woman for life.”
Well, without even going into the farce that is “till death do us part”, I’d like to point out another definition.
The definition of gay: “cheerfulness; light-hearted excitement; to be merry, jolly or joyful”.
Who wouldn’t want a gay marriage?
