Australia: Gay sinful immorality wants to be respected not just tolerated
Wong raised the fact that LGBTI Australians face abuse online, that they are still victims of assault and fear holding hands in public, to demonstrate their opposition to a gay marriage vote by Australians. Homosexuality was an offence that resulted in a jail term; and Wong a committed lesbians wonders why ordinary people respond negatively to homosexual sin being displayed in public.
Prime minister, Malcolm Turnbull, said a plebiscite would be conducted in a civil and respectful way.
Australian Labor has stepped up its attack on the government’s plan for a plebiscite on the issue, Shorten describing it on Sunday as “a taxpayer-funded platform for homophobia”. Shorten a former union leaders who pushed his way into a mine rescue and took credit has no moral argument for changing traditional marriage into a farce.
Wong said Turnbull’s claims the plebiscite campaign would be respectful were “the hollowest of hollow words”. Wong is simply seeking public sympathy towards those who want to promote sexual immorality as something good, beautiful and wonderful. But it is a lie however it is dressed - lesbianism is clearly condemed by scripture in Romans 1 as an example of the depth of sin.
Wong went on to say that “I know that a plebiscite designed to deny me and many other Australians a marriage certificate will instead license hate speech to those who need little encouragement.” Homosexual expect marriage will bring acceptance, equality and respect where clearly in other countries it has not so much so that the EU now wants to jail, change attitude by financial fines who disagree with the immoral homosexual agenda.
“Mr Turnbull – and many commentators on this subject – don’t understand that for gay and lesbian Australians hate speech is not abstract,” Wong said. People disagree, and such disagreements are not hate speech. Does Wong call other disagreements in Parliament - hate speech?
The Greens’ LGBTI spokesman, Robert Simms, told Guardian Australia he was worried about the effect of the plebiscite on young people.
“I remember my own process [of] coming out. How in my home state of South Australia at the opening of the gay lesbian pride parade there were street preachers [railing against homosexuality],” he said. “I would hate to imagine the effect we’d see in a national plebiscite.”
Street Preachers were not railing but speaking truth. Truth that homosexual want to ignore but need to hear as they will fall under God's judgment. They need to hear the God's truth not Hollywood's lies.
Wong’s speech comes as the Australian Christian Lobby released an election guide blasting Labor for opposing a plebiscite. It also claimed Labor’s policies to recognise transgender people’s gender identity would “make public toilets unsafe for women and girls”.
Debate in Australia has been marked by controversial material against marriage equality, including a pamphlet printed by a former MP claiming children of same-sex couples may be more likely to be victims of sexual abuse or abuse drugs, and a booklet sent to Catholic schools warning that “same-sex friendships” are very different from “real marriages”. A transgender person who is now standing for the Australian Senate took the Catholic Bishop to court for telling the truth.
