Australian Politics Forum - Do you want gay marriages

Much as I find the public display of men kissing distasteful, and gay marriage would mean more of it, I think it's going to happen anyway. We seem to do nothing else but overturn standards of civilised behaviour these days.

So why not oppose it, instead of just giving up and saying "it's going to happen anyway?"

I don't particularly like seeing men kiss either, however, how would gay marriage "mean more of it"? (gay women, on the other hand ... )

How did you arrive at that opinion though? It just doesn't make sense to me. Are you suggesting that there are some gay men out there who don't indulge in premarital public kissing?

I can't believe sensible people spend more than 1 second contemplating a pair of poofters playing husband and wife.

If they want to play that nonsense, that's their business.
Come Judgement Day they will have to answer for their depravity.

But sensible, decent societies should play no part in pretending its normal or acceptable.

It also affects such a small minority to be irrelevant.
So tell them no, shut the bugger up, go play your Kylie, wear some women's panties and get over it - in Iran you'd be shot.

What on earth does the ability to feed my family have to do with my views on a social issue such as this?

What a ridiculous attempt at an argument maqqa. You have outdone yourself this time.

Because what it comes down to is the individual family unit

Most people are more worried about cost of living

So lets vote on the issue based on that and see if we get a majority

now you want to dictate why people should vote for something? If you are merely concerned for your family unit, you go for it, but many others, myself included, don't see this as having anything to do with my family unit .. as far as I'm concerned this is a social issue and one of equality ... as such I'll vote accordingly.

Is that the Greens agenda?

They want to dictate?

David Cameron is a member of the Greens? Grin

..good one Maqqa Grin

David Cameron is one more of these decisions away from losing my vote.

Kylie is pretty bad, granted, but being shot is a bit over the top.

Taylor Swift, on the other hand ...

His country also shoots them for being gay. Yet the same Left denounces Australia as being archaic for simply not allowing them to marry. Go figure.

Gay marriage is for women too, you know. I quite often spend a bit more than 1 second thinking about two women playing "husband and wife".
