Homosexual marriage advocates amake death threats against Christian meeting

Image
A violent campaign by homosexuals against Christian groups planning to meet on the homosexual marriage plebiscite has forced several Christian groups to cancel the event at a major hotel, amid claims of physical threats from homosexual marriage advocates. Their vilent threats were real.  The Accor Hotels group confirmed late yesterday that the function had been abandoned after a social media storm triggered phone calls that “rattled” employees and left the company concerned about the safety of staff and guests. In the first test of the “civil” debate promised for a plebiscite on gay marriage , advocates for the “yes” case were being blamed last night for the kind of “hate speech” that Bill Shorten and others have claimed would come from the “no” case. The only group that are screaming, shouting, abusing and name calling are homosexual advocates.  A spokeswoman for the Mercure Sydney Airport Hotel said the campaign by marriage-equality bullies had forced the company to

The charity watchdog will issue fresh guidelines to not-for-profit groups campaigning on either side of the government's proposed same-sex marriage plebiscite to ensure they do not breach the sector's political rules. Several of the most outspoken organisations expected to spearhead the "yes" and "no" campaigns are registered with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission . Registered charities that enter the political fray are bound by a set of guidelines, including a ban on endorsing any one candidate or party for public office. The rules prevented groups such as Australian Marriage Equality and the Australian Christian Lobby from backing pro and anti-same-sex marriage candidates, respectively, at the July 2 federal election. However, the currently published guidelines do not explicitly state the protocols during plebiscites or referenda , when a law or policy is voted on rather than a candidate for office.

According to reports in The Australian earlier this week, the recently-appointed Secretary of the Department, Mark Scott , has been ordered to investigate what, if any, scientific basis there is to Crossroads’ claims that gender is independent of biology.
