The Modern Family stars who play gay couple Mitch and Cam have issued a timely reminder to Australians that the world is waiting for us to pass marriage equality.



In a video released by Australian Marriage Equality and filmed at our beautiful Great Barrier Reef, actors Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Eric Stonestreet are astonished that Australia wouldn’t allow their respective characters Mitchell Pritchett and Cameron Tucker to marry.

Croome notes that this weekend’s elections in South Australia and Tasmania provide an opportunity for marriage equality to vote for candidates who support the reform across all parties.

“In recent days, pro-marriage equality Liberal and National Party candidates have joined Labor and Green candidates who already support the reform,” he explains.

“This is reminder that marriage equality is not a left/right issue, and it provides voters across the political spectrum with an opportunity to vote for the reform.

“From State Elections to one of the world’s most popular TV shows, the momentum for marriage equality will only continue to grow as we wait for the Prime Minister to grant a free vote to his Party.”

You are a worry. You continually show the signs of a repressed homo.

Bullcrap...  the world is waiting.
BTW Modern Family is a bloody TV show...  a fantasy.
Bloody Greens no idea of reality.

There is already marriage equality - those who are entitled to marry may do so - those who are not may not.

Pretty simple....

Now gimme some screeching of 'homophobe' etc.  Any discussion of homosexuality etc is not worth the internet it's written on without some good old-fashioned slagging...

I don't believe their "astonishment". 

If they were to travel to any country in the world at random, there'd be a 9/10 chance gay marriage wouldn't be allowed there.  So really, they should be more "astonished" if it was allowed.

Anyways, the time for this nonsense has passed.

The success rate or otherwise of modern marriage - as dictated by politically correct movements over the past thirty years in concert with every other move to break down our society and create chaos and disorder in order to facilitate the takeover of Socio-fascist sentiments from both 'sides' - has nothing to do with it.

Propaganda aside - marriage is for the formation of the natural family - of man and woman - that is how it was designed and how it has been for countless years.  All other arguments are irrelevant, and no modifying of the word 'family' through propaganda on television shows can alter that.

I'm sorry if that sounds 'conservative' or whatever to anyone - I am simply stating the facts.

Marriage is what it is - that is all there is to it - and any other group can seek to either alter it by popular consent or choose another way of uniting in a bond.

Even the simple fact that the term 'gay marriage' is uses separates it from Marriage... and frankly - I doubt anyone much really cares apart from those interested - most have enough to deal with in their own lives, and like feminism - it is long past time for these things to just STFU and leave the rest of us alone without dragging us all into some pointless argument over something in which we have no interest.

This art of generating 'issues' and shoving them at everyone else has got to stop - and maybe it stops with funding such nonsense in academic circles.

Why the hell would anyone want to get married.
Gay or straight, its a stupid idea.

I have a tendency to take the opposite view to whatever TV actors tend to want.

Talk about live in a bubble world outside of reality.
