Australia: Bigotry and hatred has already started - but by whom?

If you disagree with me over lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex politics, you are a homophobe . Disagree with my position on Islam, you are an ­Islamophobe. If you disagree with me on immigration, you are a xenophobe. Rather than engaging in debate, too many on the Left would rather portray disagreement on totemic issues as grounds for a mental disorder with the sole aim of shutting down any challenge to leftist orthodoxy. The same politics of deriding deplorables is endemic in Australia , especially in the same-sex marriage debate. The Greens and LGBTI activists claim that allowing Australians to decide whether marriage should be redefined would fuel harmful hate speech from same-sex marriage opponents.  Worse, the leaders of Australia’s alternative government succumbed to the lowest of low-rent politics. A plebiscite would lead to suicides, Bill Shorten said. Deputy leader Tanya Plibersek used a young boy named Eddie, the son of a same-sex couple, for politic

Gay ‘marriage’ set for defeat in Australia despite boost from US ruling

CANBERRA , Australia , August 11, 2015 -- Defenders of natural marriage in Australia have had a stunning ' David vs Goliath ' win against a well-funded pro-same sex “marriage” lobby group that had the active support of the mainstream media and corporate bodies.  After a marathon six-hour party room meeting dedicated to the issue, two-thirds of government MPs have voted to maintain the position of voting as a block along party lines rather than permit members to have a conscience vote on the issue. This means that the coalition government will honour the commitment it went to the election with, to maintain the definition of marriage as being between a man and a woman.  As a result, the private members' bill put forward by opposition leader Bill Shorten will fail should it come to a vote.  The politicians pushing for same sex “marriage” had rushed to bring their bill forward to take advantage of the political momentum generated by the United States Supreme Court d

Australian Labor party may force all their party to vote for homosexual marriage

(Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Further evidence of the intolerance of the leading voices in the same-sex marriage debate will be on display again at this weekend’s Australian Labor Party National Conference in Melbourne . At its last conference in 2011, Labor changed its party policy to support redefining marriage in law. It was a terrible blow to have one of the two major political parties capitulate. However, at that time, Labor made an important concession. Normally conscience votes on both sides of politics are reserved for life or death matters such as abortion or euthanasia. But in this case, after tense backroom negotiations, Labor decided to depart from this political rule of thumb and allow its parliamentarians a conscience vote . Under Labor’s party rules, parliamentarians who vote against party policy are automatically expelled. (The Liberal’s don’t expel

Gay Marriage will crush religious freedom

Pro and anti-Proposition 8 protesters rally in front of the San Francisco City Hall as the California Supreme Court holds a session in the to determine the definition of marriage (Strauss v. Horton cases). (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Human Rights Commissioner Tim Wilson ’s call for freedom of conscience to be protected is welcome but does not meet the social justice objections to redefining marriage, the Australian Christian Lobby said today. “It is good that Mr Wilson wants to avoid the overseas experience where florists, cake makers, photographers and wedding chapel owners are being hauled before courts and punished with fines for their belief that marriage is between one man and one woman,” ACL Managing Director Lyle Shelton said. “ACL sincerely thanks Mr Wilson for his good faith in recognising that millions of Australians will always believe the timeless definition of marriage and that they should be shielded from legal action for publicly manifesting their beliefs. “We al

If 'Love is Love' - Why can only two marry and not three or four?

(Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Penny Wong seeks to shut down debate by dismissing as “offensive” discussion about the consequences of redefining marriage. Australian Christian Lobby Managing Director Lyle Shelton said it was not “illogical and offensive” to point out that so called “marriage equality” should logically apply to other forms of love. “If Senator Wong thinks it is offensive and illogical to discuss poly relationships in the context of the marriage debate, she should tell that to the UK Greens Leader

Federal Labor wants to introduce again failed immoral unwanted homosexual marriage

Labor will introduce a private members bill aimed at legalising gay marriage, in a move designed to pressure Prime Minister Tony Abbott into deciding on whether Government MPs will be allowed a conscience vote . This is the 10th attempt in Australia to push the gay zealot agenda. Tony Abbott is to be commended for standing against this horrible form of immorality and sin into Australia. The USA is already showing signs of splintering the community. Forcing business to perform duties against their conscience for homosexual marriages. The USA government has come out and fined business like florist, chapel owners, photographers who in good conscience cannot support immorality being shoved down their throats. Deputy Opposition Leader Tanya Plibersek took the bill to Caucus this morning for approval from her colleagues. Does the opposition have nothing better to do then put up legislation that the Australian people have said a definite NO! The draft legislation is practically the same
