ABC Australia Fact Checker actual lies

Tony Abbott is completely correct on the concept of traditional marriage being between a "Mum and a Dad." The entire population would agree except a minority who themselves are homosexual and obviously would seek to fin minor variations of marriage throughout different cultures in order to say marriage historically is a free for all. 

ABC Fact Checker quotes Yale University's John Boswell and his book entitled: Sex Unions In Premodern Europe. He claims the use of the word friend is misunderstood and really means lover. With regards to Christianity he claims a lesbian relationship between Ruth and Naomi, David and Jonathon, he reinterprets a spiritual fraternity as a homosexual relationship. The author died of AIDS. All of his examples are questionable, minor and insignificant.

Writing in The Christian Century magazine, the Candler School of Theology's historian of theology Philip Lyndon Reynolds expressed "profound problems" with Boswell's positions, which he claims rest largely on "ambiguity and equivocation" and "conceptual slipperiness". 

He is particularly critical of Boswell's use of "same-sex unions" as a translation of terms like adelphopoiesis, believing that this was an "ill-chosen and dangerously slippery term" because it has been widely interpreted in the media as an innuendo for "gay marriage" and therefore lacks neutrality. He also rejects Boswell's argument that the same-sex ceremonies were found in Western Christianity as well as Eastern Christianity, stating that the "heterogeneous bits of evidence" assembled to argue for this position were insufficient
William Eskridge a gay man who has experienced restrictions in employment, is supportive of homosexual marriage of dismisses the general public view of traditional marriage because he uses liberal theory and intergrates that into general stance towards freedom to do anything you want especially regarding homosexuality.

Essentially, the ABC Fact Checker has simply asked homosexuals is traditional marriage between a man and woman: valuable, historical, moral, normal and what do you expect them to say...YES?
