GAY TRUTH

Lyle Shelton , managing director of the Australian Christian Lobby , said he was optimistic the court would overturn the marriage equality law. Mr Shelton said if the court ruled the ACT law was found to be constitutional Australia would be left ''with a hodge-podge of marriage laws''. ''Now that is not in the nation's interest and something would need to be done to get us back to a state of uniform marriage laws,'' he said. The Federal Parliament has the power to overturn territory laws and should do so immediately. Mr Shelton said homosexual marriage bills had been rejected by the federal, NSW, South Australian and Tasmanian parliaments. This is a clear signal to the community. In France and Hawaii immoral homosexual marriage was pushed through against huge public protests. In New York, the Mayor paid off Republican members to vote for homosexual marriage, but these Republicans have since lost their seats due to public backlash. Shelton said if

English: Sarah Hanson-Young, Senator for South Australia (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) ''It's an important step towards marriage equality,'' Greens senator Sarah Hanson-Young , who put forward the bill. ''We have couples now living in Australia who've gone overseas and gotten married . . . and they arrive back home at Sydney International Airport and all of a sudden they have to check their marriage at the customs gate.'' Thursday's bill would have changed a section of the Marriage Act that states that ''certain unions are not marriages''. The Act says that foreign weddings between ''a man and another man'' and ''a woman and another woman . . . must not be recognised as a marriage in Australia''. But Liberal senator George Brandis responded by saying there was something ''chillingly unpleasant about hearing [Greens] Senator Hanson-Young giving one of her emotional speec

English: Prime Minister of Australia Julia Gillard at a Q & A Session in Rooty Hill, New South Wales (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Senator Gary Humphries is warning that future legislation allowing same-sex marriage could be struck down by the High Court, leaving gay couples devastated. The ACT Liberal says the Gillard government should not act ''irresponsibly'' by allowing gay marriage to become law. ''I think it is particularly dangerous to be proceeding on constitutionally shaky grounds,'' he said last night.

''It seems to me that the Commonwealth should go to every possible length to avoid that occurring. ''It's utterly irresponsible to potentially pu

Former Premier Kristina Keneally (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Former Justice of the High Court of Australia, Michael Donald Kirby. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Kristina Keneally states her conscience not scripture determines her view on homosexual marriage . The Catholic Church is very clear against homosexual marriage. Scripture must inform conscience, and not the other way around.  Former High Court judge M. Kirby asserts that homosexual marriage will deliver some form of equality in the general community.  Are polygamist second class citizens ? No all citizens are equal but all sexual behavior is not equal regardless of how much emotions are attached.  Kirby claims to have lived happily with his partner for many years but infers his is a second class citizen. This is a false inference to draw pity from the public. Even if Kirby and his homosexual friend were married in the minds of many citizens it would still be a sham not real marriage, hence his goal is not achievable. He m

Image via Wikipedia The Australian Senate has voted down a motion by the Green Party that called on the federal government to support same-sex “marriage.” The motion was put forward by Green Senator Sarah Hanson-Young , who told the Senate that Prime Minster Julia Gillard and Opposition Leader Tony Abbott , both of whom oppose any amendment to the Marriage Act 1961 , were out of step with community attitudes on same-sex “marriage.” “The prime minister and the opposition leader are, of course, entitled to their personal views, but I do not believe they should be imposing their views on the rest of the community on this issue,” she told the Senate on July 6th. Hanson-Young added that a same-sex “marriage” vote should be on conscience rather than along party lines. The motion was defeated in a vote of 31 to 9, with only the Senate’s nine Greens voting in favor of it. Hanson-Young’s motion, available starting on page 32 of July 6th  Hansard , pointed to gay “marriage” legislat
