Homosexual marriage activists fail to condemn threats

Image
Marriage equality advocates have failed to condemn the behaviour of activists who made phone and social media threats, forcing a meeting of Christian opponents of gay marriage to be abandoned. The Accor hotels group confirmed on Friday that a meeting of about 100 people from groups including the Australian Christian Lobby , the Marriage ­Alliance, Sydney Anglicans and Sydney Catholics had been abandoned following threatening phone calls and social media posts that “rattled” employees and left the company concerned about the safety of staff and guests at the Mercure Sydney Airport hotel. A key argument used by Labor and Greens politicians and same-sex marriage advocates who ­oppose the government’s proposed plebiscite on the issue is that it will fuel “hate speech” against same-sex couples and their families. A statement from the meeting’s conveners alleged hotel staff had received “threats of violence” from same-sex marriage activists after details of the event were published on

Australia: Labor confused over homosexual marriage

Image
These social conservatives, mind you, have played a blinder. They have convinced the cabinet to approve a proposal ­utterly doomed from its inception. It has absolutely no chance of passing the Senate and that refusal could well pave the way for a delay of several years in any change to the laws on same-sex marriage . This would be a good thing in that the destruction that homosexual marriage brings with it will be clearly seen. The lies, manipulations, false argument, unhealthy destructive behaviour of some homosexuals. The abuse of anybody who stands against anything LGBTQ .  Bill Shorten and many others who support same-sex marriage seem terrified by the prospect of a real public debate on this issue. Australians can be trusted but many of our pollies can't be trusted to conduct a civil discussion on a contentious issue. We saw the confused illogical 'family argument' last week from Labor's deputy. It clearly shows no understanding of what homosexual mar

Australia: Marxism and Homosexuality -gender fluidity

It has not been a good week for avowed Marxist and Safe Schools Coalition co-founder Roz Ward who is now under suspension from her university job. She earlier resigned from a Victorian Government committee following the leak of her Facebook post criticising the Australian flag as “racist”. New Matilda   reports that she has been stood down by Latrobe University for having “undermined public confidence in … you as a person associated with the Safe Schools Program.” Further, her conduct has “damaged the reputation of the Safe Schools Program and aligns the Safe Schools program with views that have nothing to do with the program, and its message and content.” As one Christian commentator has noted: “Raise a legitimate complaint about what our national flag represents … and all hell breaks loose.” Yet as David Ould also points out,”this lady has pushed a really awful political agenda upon our schools and she was untouchable.” Suddenly the debate over the Safe School C

People can be ungrateful and ugly - same sex marriage

Brendan Eich, Mozilla Corporation Taken by AcidJazzed 03:14, 22 January 2007 (UTC) 11/21/2006 (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) It’s a couple of years since Javascript inventor Brendan Eich was hounded out of his job at Mozilla by a virtual mob of intolerant tweeters and campaigners. His crime? Failing to genuflect at the altar of gay marriage , which is now the closest thing our otherwise godless, belief-lite, morally vacuous societies have to a sacred value. For refusing to bow down before this new sainted institution, and for having the temerity to donate money to a campaign group opposed to it, Eich was found guilty by the mob of sacrilege and was hounded out of public life as a modern-day heretic. And in those four weeks, some gay-marriage backers, feeling more than a little red-faced, have called for the zealots in their camp to get a grip. The treatment of Eich was an example of what happens when bad-apple activists turn crazily self-righteous, they say. British-American writer

Demonise and censor: the winning strategy of the gay marriage movement

Gay couple at same-sex marriage march San Francisco 2008 (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) “Ireland’s tolerant elite now demonise anyone who opposes gay marriage” according to Brendan O’Neill, editor of Spiked magazine . Bernard Keane, political editor at Crikey, tweets his thousands of followers that Lyle Shelton , managing director of the Australian Christian Lobby and opponent of gay marriage, is “ a nauseating piece of filth ” (see tweet published around 10pm 23/05/15). As for me, I am a “bigot” in big red painted letters on the wall of my medical centre this week, courtesy of a local vandal who does not like my opposition to same-sex marriage. But wait, there’s more, according to a staff columnist  in the Courier Mail who reminds the state of Queensland that I am not only bigoted but intolerant and “comically homophobic”. I beg to differ , as does my good friend Lyle Shelton and so many others who dare to stand up to the juggernaut of pro-gay intolerance, but it just rolls righ

Homosexual Marriage: Welcome to the new Dark Ages

Image
Something terrifying has happened during the past five years: a belief that was held by virtually all human beings for centuries has been rebranded as bigotry , something that may no longer be expressed in polite society. That belief is that marriage is something that occurs between a man and a woman, or between a man and many women: the idea that marriage is a union of opposite sexes. This was once seen as a perfectly normal point of view. Now, in the historical blink of an eye, it has been denormalised, and with such ferocity and speed that anyone still brave enough to express it runs the risk of being ejected from public life. Consider the ABC’s   Q&A   this week , and the furious response to it. The show was unusual from the get-go because it featured not one but two gay-marriage sceptics: Katy Faust, an American Christian, and me, a godless Brit. I made the argument that gay marriage now seemed to play the same role God played 200 years ago: anyone who didn’

Homosexual marriage - referendum vs Plebiscite vs Change Constitution

English: Tony Abbott in 2010. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Any referendum questions on marriage must canvass the consequences of change, allowing a free and open debate, Australian Christian Lobby Managing Director Lyle Shelton said today. “This debate can’t continue with television networks like Channel 7 and Channel 10 refusing to run innocuous advertisements putting the other side of the argument,” Mr Shelton said. “The word ‘bigotry’, used again by journalists on social media last night, must be dropped from the public discourse so that there is complete freedom to put the alternative view.” Mr Shelton said the Prime Minister Tony Abbott ’s floating of a referendum or plebiscite next term of Parliament gave breathing space for ordinary Australians to be allowed to know what is at stake. “Any referendum questions must canvass the harms to freedom of speech, religion and conscience raised by the Australian Human Right’s Commission’s ‘freedom commissioner’ Tim Wilson

Australian Coalition says no to same sex marriage - but will LGBT keep fighting so kids can't have a mum and dad?

The Coalition's overwhelming party room decision for marriage is a win for the millions of Australians who will always believe it is between one man and one woman. Australian Christian Lobby Managing Director Lyle Shelton thanked the Prime Minister and Coalition Senators and Members for speaking so clearly. "The Prime Minister and Coalition parliamentarians have shown great courage and leadership in speaking for marriage at a time when a powerful minority have made it difficult to speak. "Tonight's decision means all Australians remain free to speak what they believe about marriage without fear. It is so important we keep speaking without fear about the benefits of marriage and why its definition should be preserved. "Coalition parliamentarians have shown great courage in staring down a determined political campaign driven by a small minority who have co-opted the media, celebrities and even corporate Australia . "It is clear from polling that same-

Kevin Rudd promotes anti-family homosexual values

English: Kevin Rudd, 26th Prime Minister of Australia. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Many Australians are disappointed with Rudd's announcement.  It's very hard to understand how someone who spent years defending marriage between a man and woman now sees it as a priority to be fast tracked.  Why the urgency to legislate immorality when Canada and the UK are clearly displaying that Homosexual advocates ignore the law, sue people who don't do what they want, get people fired from their jobs and cause community pain because they deamnd their selfish focused rights. It's extremely strange that Rudd would even vote against changing the definition of marriage.    I think there should be a referendum for the Australian people to decide. This is about the fifth time this has come up, in the last two or three years. It's been rejected in the parliament, but it keeps coming back because homosexual advocates are so self focused that refuse to take no for an answer for
