STATE Parliament has been urged to a ban the flying rainbow flags as a symbol of gay pride in a petition signed by more than 100 people and delivered by a Liberal backbencher.

The petition, endorsed by 103 residents of Adelaide and broader SA, calls on the Government to “restrict councils or other organisations from displaying a rainbow flag or any other design of a rainbow as a symbol of homosexuality”.

It proposes fines against anyone who defied the order.

The push follows a series of controversies at SA councils including Marion, Copper Coast and Adelaide City over plans to fly the rainbow flag or use ratepayer money to support gay rights.

Liberal MP Michael Pengilly told The Advertiser the petition was organised by a resident of his Fleurieu Peninsula seat of Finniss, which he tabled in Parliament as a “humble” local member.

Under the rules of State Parliament, MPs are “not bound to present a petition, but it is an accepted convention that he or she will present it regardless of the member’s personal views”.

Mr Pengilly said the rainbow flag debate “has aroused some pretty strong emotions” .

“Any of these petitions, I’m duty-bound to present them to the Parliament,” he said.

“My personal view is that I support flying the Australian flag or state flag. I think all the other flags are peripheral quite frankly. That way, it puts a restriction on everything else.”

Mr Pengilly said he would not seek to change state legislation on the matter.

The chief petitioner declined an approach for interview.

Labor minister and marriage equality activist Ian Hunter said: “I would hope that Mr Pengilly supports the ability of councils to celebrate diversity within their community, as I do.”

Greens MP Tammy Franks said introducing fines for displaying the rainbow flag would likely lead to even more people to erect them in protest against attempts to limit free expression.

“I think it’s an error of judgment to have put this petition forward,” Ms Franks said.

“I don’t think that is supportive of all members of his community. It’s quite divisive. This is giving those people a voice and Mr Pengilly should do more to distance himself from it.”

In 2013, Mr Pengilly spoke in Parliament against a push by now-Education and Child Development Minister Susan Close to legislate for state-based gay marriage in SA.

Mr Pengilly said it was an attempt at “social re-engineering” and “I firmly believe that children need a father and a mother, and nothing will dissuade me from that view”.

Mr Pengilly said he respected the rights of “males living with males or females living with females” but believed marriage was an institution that should be reserved for heterosexuals.

So they aren't allowed to dislike something? When did we become a dictatorship? Not everyone has to like the rainbow flag, GW.

When Libs wanted banning of flags ...

Are we going to have flags now for any cause espoused by the intellectually challenged limpwrists?

Sad enough we have to have aboriginal flags fluttering meanlessly everywhere and stone age people conducting primitive ceremonies.

We already do. This is the flag that encompasses people like GW, Kat, Monk, JS, etc and their cause.

I blame the Y2K bug.
It missed the hard drives and got the left handed brains instead.

I would like to see all Councils raise the Catholic Flag. We represent vastly more than the gay population so why not?

Because it's not about majorities - it's about minorities. That's why not. The majority don't get a say and if we try to speak up, we're homophobic or xenophobic or something along those lines.

Majority?
Catholics 25% and decreasing in Australia is not a majority.

Once again, we have posters thinking about anal sex.
Me think they spend more time fantasising about it than anyone else.

It's more about having homosexuality rammed down our throats by people like you and your ridiculous penchant for silly coloured flags, and other non-normal activities you and others of your ilk consider that it's quite okay to promote to the rest of us normal people.

the friggen libs won't be happy until we are a fully fledged dictatorship ...

people should be free to fly whatever flag they like. who the bugger are you to tell them what they can or can't fly?

Normal is relative.
If sharia law becomes the norm, it would mean you are a non-normal.

Careful about pretending you have a monopoly on 'normal'.

What is this about gay rights?  Can't gays vote etc in this country?   They, like women, have all basic Rights, and then some, since it is verboten to even discuss the fact that they are given special treatment in some areas.

Now THAT's a dictatorship....

This should be hung alongside, at the very least:-

You're wrong again. According to the 2011 Census:

  Roman Catholic (25.3%)

  Anglican (17.1%)

  Other Christian (18.7%)

  Buddhism (2.5%)

  Islam (2.2%)

  Hinduism (1.3%)

  Other Non-Christians (1.2%)

  No Religion (22.3%)

  Not stated or unclear (9.4%)

We all know what majority is and a decreasing subsection, currently around 25%, is not a majority.

Most of this lot tick the catholic box out of guilt, rather than being real catholics. Core catholics are probably around 5%.

It actually is, but I think we're more concerned about why you failed basic mathematics at school. If the Coalition gets 45% of the vote and the ALP gets 40% while others get 15%, the Coalition still received the majority of votes because 45% is more than 40% and way more than 15%.

Statistics.
A majority =  greater than 50%
A minority = less than 50%

25% is a minority

It's obvious Green hates Catholics. Now that's progressive . . .progressing right back to about 1900.

We should be able to get a Christian Flag at every council. After all the Christians amount to 60% of the population. Gays are just 1%.

The argument being waged by conservatives is that 25% in a majority while 75% in a minority.

Violence against women is a serious problem in Australia where:

Over 12 months, on average, one woman is killed every week as a result of intimate partner violence.
A woman is most likely to be killed by her male partner in her home.
Domestic and family violence is the principle cause of homelessness for women and their children.
Intimate partner violence is the leading contributor to death, disability and ill-health in Australian women aged 15-44.
One in three women have experienced physical and/or sexual violence perpetrated by someone known to them.
One in four children are exposed to domestic violence, which is a recognised form of child abuse.
The cost of violence against women to the Australian economy is estimated to rise to $15.6 billion per annum.
One in five women experience harassment within the workplace.
One in five women over 18 have been stalked in their lifetime.

Homosexuality, not homophobia.
Homosexuality is interwoven throughout life. Where as homophobia is a learnt and so curable condition.

Intimate partner violence is the leading contributor to death, disability and ill-health in Australian women aged 15-44. One in three women have experienced physical and/or sexual violence perpetrated by someone known to them. One in four children are exposed to domestic violence, which is a recognised form of child abuse. The cost of violence against women to the Australian economy is estimated to rise to $15.6 billion per annum. One in five women experience harassment within the workplace. One in five women over 18 have been stalked in their lifetime. http://www.whiteribbon.org.au/white-ribbon-importance Trust a hard right male poster to try and look the other way. Talking about mass murder is over the top and you don't know it. Deranged IS the word.

If hard right terrorism in Australia killed 300 plus people a year, would that be considered mass murder.

Sexism is the likely driver for some to deny this mass murder of women.
Sexism is a form of terrorism.

The fact that this is something we can debate just proves how wrong you really are. how would the rainbow flag be flying everywhere? the only dictators are the libs, the anti gays, anti islam, anti any other minority party

You really have no idea about pretty much anything as long as you can criticise Liberals - even when it isn't them at all.  Flags hold special significance which I thought everyone past toddler age already knew.

Yet we never see the catholic flag.
Why isn't it flown outside of catholic businesses?

Out of all of the other religious groups involved in the Census, Catholics were the majority with 25.3%. Next was no religion with 22.3%. Clearly, the majority of Australians subscribe to the Roman Catholic religion.

Homosexual behavior in animals is sexual behavior among non-human species that is interpreted as homosexual or bisexual. This may include sexual activity, courtship, affection, pair bonding, and parenting among same-sex animal pairs. Research indicates that various forms of this are found throughout the animal kingdom.[1][2] As of 1999, about 500 species, ranging from primates to gut worms, have been documented engaging in same-sex behaviors.[3][4] According to the organizers of the 2006 Against Nature? exhibit, it has been observed in 1,500 species.[5]

Meanwhile homophobia is a learnt hatred.

So can be corrected and cured ... and in time, ended.

WRONG. You asserted - wrongly - that Catholics are not the majority religion in Australia. I showed you irrefutable proof that they are, with the next closest religious group being other Christians, comprising 18.7% of the population and non-religious people comprising 22.3% of the population. It's a clear majority. If you want to include all of Christianity under the one umbrella, then that is by far the majority religion in this country, with 61.1% of the population. Other religions comprise just 7.2% of the population. Time for you to simply acknowledge you were wrong.

Quote:

According to the 2011 Australian National Census, there were 5,439,257 Catholics in Australia. This represented 25.3% of the overall Australian population

25% is not the majority of Australians ... what Maria was incorrectly arguing.

It's quite simple. When compared to other religions, the religion that comprises the majority of Australians is the Catholic Church. That this simple fact continues to elude you is not surprising to me.

Focus.  That wasn't the claim.

The claim was "Clearly, the majority of Australians subscribe to the Roman Catholic religion".

And, that's incorrect.

Doesn't matter - the Census takes data from all Australians, not just those who are religious. Therefore I AM correct in stating that the majority of Australians are Catholic AND I was also correct in stating that of all religions, the majority of Australians subscribe to the Catholic Church.

... and it's true - just over 25% of them do, which is more than any other religious group or non-religious observers. The majority is the larger group. What part of this do you fail to comprehend? ::)

The majority of Australians are not Catholic.

Only a quarter of Australians subscribe to the Roman Catholic religion.

Even Longy understands that a quarter isn't "the majority".

I'll break it down real simple for you because you're obviously real slow. Just over 25% of Australians indicate they are Catholic. That's more than any other religion. Ergo, it stands that the Catholic Church is the predominant religion in this country and therefore the majority of Australians - just over 25% when you take into account other religions and those of no religion - are Catholic.

Is 10% of the population really gay?


Kinsey’s headline finding was that “at least 37% of the male population has some homosexual experience between the beginning of adolescence and old age”, meaning physical contact to the point of orgasm. He claimed that 13% of males were predominately homosexual for at least three years between the ages of 16 and 55 (scoring at least 4) and that 4% of males were exclusively homosexual all their lives (scoring 6). For 30-year-old US men, he estimated that 83% would score 0 (totally heterosexual), 8% would be 1 or 2 on the scale, and 9% would be at least a 3. He acknowledged that people could move on the scale during their lifetime, and indeed Kinsey himself is said to have moved from a 1 or 2 when younger to a 3 or 4 in middle age.

The claim wasn't that Catholics make up the largest portion of all the religious groups, it was that the MAJORITY of Australians are catholic ... your own figures show that the 75% of Australians are religions other than catholic  :D :D :D :D

how did you get so dumb?

now stop embarrassing yourself with your stupidity.

The correct term to use is that the Catholics are the biggest subgroup. They are not technically a majority in their own right, however Christians of all denominations most certainly ARE a majority as the census supports.

Why are we discussing the catheters in the context of a gay flag discussion?
