Bob Katter & Homosexuality

Image
Homosexuality is perhaps the most controversial issue of debate in the Australian culture  and in particular Bob Katter 's Australia party latest advertisments.  Behind this discussion is an agenda, pushed and promoted by activists, who seek legitimization and social sanction for homosexual acts , relationships, and lifestyles. The push is on for homosexual “marriage,” the removal of all structures and laws considered oppressive to homosexuals, and the recognition of homosexuals, bisexuals, transsexuals, and others as “erotic minorities,” deserving of special legal protection. The larger culture is now bombarded with messages and images designed to portray homosexuality as a normal lifestyle. Homoerotic images are so common in the mainstream media that many citizens have virtually lost the capacity to be shocked. The church has not been an outsider to these debates. As the issue of homosexual legitimization has gained public prominence and moved forward, some churches (portions

Church 'may have to offer gay weddings' if Cameron's plans given go-ahead

Image
Image via Wikipedia Will this happen in Australia ? Will this happen in Queensland under Andrew Fraser and his self imposed gay union legislation ?  Same-sex couples will be able to have church weddings if David Cameron goes ahead with plans to allow gay marriage , the Church of England indicated yesterday.  Its lawyers said that weddings will have to be offered to same-sex couples under any scheme to open the full privileges and title of marriage to gays and lesbians. A spokesman for Christian Evangelical Coalition rejects outright any such acess would be permitted or allowed regardless of any Government legislation. The Cof E lost the plot many years ago, they are not subject to scripture or God but to the government of the day. They suggested that if same-sex couples could marry the Church would no longer be sheltered from equality laws that forbid it from discriminating against homosexuals . The admission was made by officials in a paper on the impact of new civil partnersh

Gay father abuses own son

Image
The gay fathers of a six-year-old Australian boy have been arrested in Los Angeles after being indicted on child sexual exploitation charges relating to their own son. The men, a US citizen and resident of Queensland in his 40s, and his partner, an Australian citizen in his 30s from north Queensland, were arrested in a 6am raid at a house in Los Angeles, on Thursday morning. A third man, a lawyer from Florida , has also been arrested and indicted, and is named as the lead defendant . He is further charged with procuring a boy aged between eight or nine for sexual exploitation. The indictment alleges the gay couple’s son was induced and coerced by all three defendants to appear in sexually explicit images and videos , either by himself or with the lead defendant. All men are charged with counts of conspiracy to sexually exploit a child and the sexual exploitation of a child. The indictment carries no direct information on what the seized material allegedly depicts. The

Andrew Fraser and Queensland Same Sex Unions

Image
Image via Wikipedia Image via Wikipedia Image via Wikipedia Andrew Fraser introduced same sex unions into the Queensland parliament because he said it was "the right thing to do."   It is not uncommon to hear people insist on the constructed arbitrariness of moral values and yet denounce certain human actions as wrong because they violate human rights . In this case the perceived oppression of homosexuals in the Queensland community. That such a self-contradictory absurdity seems to be widespread and tends to escape the notice of its protagonists suggests both that it is deeply rooted and that it fulfills an important function. Its latter half depends on smuggling or the importation of unacknowledged premises and convictions from normative religious worldviews that protagonists like Fraser have discarded, and which are inadmissible on Fraser's own naturalist terms. If rape or murder is wrong, then all moral values are not arbitrary, and therefore there must be a

Same-Sex Marriage and Unions will Lead to a Push for Polygamy

Image
Image via Wikipedia Marriage is a public institution (not purely a private relationship) because it serves two public purposes: bringing together men and women for the reproduction of the human race , and keeping together a man and woman to raise to maturity the children produced by their union. The existence of future generations of children is fundamental to the survival of any society . The quality of their nurture is directly related to the quality of life within that society. Bonding the man and woman whose sexual union produces a child to one another and to that child is by far the healthiest way of insuring that nurture. Opposite- sex relationships are the only type  capable  of producing children through natural intercourse, and the only ones  assured  of providing children with both a mother and a father. Affirming only opposite-sex relationships as "marriage" thus makes perfect sense. The common sense understanding that children should have both a mother and a
