Why are issues of equal controversy and capable of achieving similar degrees of contention – but ones with which the Left agrees – judged worthy of debate, and indeed pressed upon the national agenda and deemed imperative for the democratic life of our nation? It is a rhetorical question for sure, and anyone knowing the morally supine ways of social liberals can easily provide an answer.  Perhaps the better question is why this feeble dichotomy and unabashed hypocrisy is allowed to persist by the national media and even by our political leaders – who apparently cannot see the absurdity of the argument or are afraid to question the political hegemony of social liberalism in Canada.

In response to overwhelming complaints , advertising company Adshel removed the offending posters from bus shelters around Brisbane .  But the Queensland Association of Healthy Communities , (a pro-gay Government funded lobby group) responsible for the advertisement , is squealing: homophobia.

This mission statement of this organization is also to push the gay agenda ....fully government funded.  Spokesman Paul Martin says the complaints are about the condom advertisements at bus shelters. He says the complaint sent to the Advertising Standards Bureau reads:  "To promote this lifestyle to our youth is not in the interests of healthy communities - the only place this message should be seen would be to practising homosexuals, not to impressionable youth in our general public
