Australia: Homosexual Marriage and the gay agenda in schools

Image
More Australian mums and dads need to  see this new ad  which reveals just how unsafe the so-called ‘Safe Schools’ program is for kids. While this ad has a MA15+ rating because of the content, this is the same material being taught to our 12-year-olds at school.  How is this “safe” for our kids to learn at school but rated too explicit to watch it at home? Let’s stand up for marriage, and for parents’ right to say “NO” to radical gay sex education in our schools. Please give today to get this message out   through TV ads and social media, and to equip your Coalition for Marriage Freedom Team volunteers.  You and I need to stay strong in this campaign to defend marriage and children … right to the finish!

Gay Smear Campaign

Image
Today’s leftist liars understand the harsh reality and know that their “ end justifies the means ” approach toward delegitimizing pro-family conservatives as “hateful” bigots yields big political and cultural dividends — and scares the media away from featuring conservatives in their stories. With QANTAS , Suncorp , Telstra , Apple , Amex, BOQ, BT , and other companies becoming corporate bullies - the bigot campaign appears to have legs. And yet, despicable as the Love is Love or Australian Marriage Equality hate- smear campaign is, it is highly effective. Making the spurious charge against morality-defenders as “haters” is far easier to do in our post-Christian , morally dumbed-down culture than defending oneself against the loaded accusation. Indeed, forcing conservatives and Christians to plead defensively, “I’m not … ” is part of the Love is Love’s propaganda strategy. In such a culture, accusing good-hearted Christians and conservatives of “hating gays” merely becau...

Homosexuals authoritarian and intolerant - ‘Back gay marriage, beer companies, or we’ll punish you.’

Shalt not 'Make Light' of Gay Marriage - A beer boycott Down Under shows how authoritarian gay marriage has become. We’ve known for a while that it’s a risky business to oppose gay marriage. Now it seems it’s perilous even to discuss it. In Australia, Coopers beer – which is delicious, by the way – has found itself the target of a bizarre, shrill hipster boycott after its wares featured in a Bible Society video debate about gay marriage. Andrew Hastie , the Liberal MP for Canning in Western Australia , and Tim Wilson , Liberal MP for Goldstein in Victoria, battle it over gay marriage. They drink Coopers Light as they do so. (Mistake. They should have gone with Coopers Pale Ale, a cloudy, fruity joy.) Hastie makes the case against legalising gay marriage (it’s not legal yet in Oz), while Wilson makes the case for it. Wilson is one of Australia’s keenest advocates for gay marriage – I’ve had a few heated chats with him about it – and he does a good job in the video. The s...

Only married people should vote for gay marriage plebiscite

Image
Australian support for marriage equality has apparently,  steadily increased over the years; it has risen from just 38% in 2004. A July 2014 poll showed 52% of Australians supported the legalisation of same-sex marriage . It is unknown whether people answers honestly in polls fearing some form of being labelled a bigot. That question is never asked. The poll was limited to 1000. Research was done by the gay organization - Australian Marriage Equality Despite this support for marriage equality, marriage itself is in decline in Australia . There were just 5.2 marriages per 1000 people in 2014 , down from 6.2 in 2004 and 9.2 in 1950 . Hence, only those who are married should be allowed to vote in the homosexual plebiscite as they are the only one who has invested in this institution. Why should people who disregard even hate marriage have a say in marriage?  Related articles Marriage equality plebiscite: Pyne says Coalition may consult Labor on wording (theguar...

Homosexual orientation and attraction examined through scripture

Image
Many good resources concerning the Bible and homosexuality have emerged over the past five years. Two of the more popular volumes are Kevin DeYoung ’s What Does the Bible Really Teach about Homosexuality? (Crossway 2015) and Sam Alberry’s Is God Anti-Gay? (Good Book Company 2013). Each of these books has proven to be helpful for Christians seeking better to understand our own faith and the ongoing war against sin. The thrust of these volumes is to understand the biblical position concerning homosexuality. For authors Denny Burk and Heath Lambert, the time has arrived for moving the conversation another step forward. According to Burk and Lambert, evangelicals share a consistent conviction that homosexual practice is sinful according to the Scriptures. Division now is taking place at the level of attraction, desire, and temptation. The evangelical conversation must address whether or not same-sex attraction is sinful. In their own description of this volume, P&R Publishing sa...

What is equal love? - the hypocrisy of the homosexual agenda

Image
Justice Michael Kirby, High Court of Australia (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Slogans such as ‘marriage equality’ and ‘equal love’ have dominated the gay marriage debate so far. But as the federal parliament inches closer to dealing with the three ‘marriage equality’ bills that are before it, we are finally beginning to see their consequences. During the recent Senate Hearings into one of the bills, the Green’s Marriage Equality Amendment Bill, former High Court Justice Michael Kirby was asked what logical reason could be given for not extending ‘marriage equality’ to other configurations of love such as consenting polygamous and polyamorous ones. “The question that is before the parliament at the moment is the question of equality for homosexual people,” he told the Senate.“There may be, in some future time, some other question. The lesson in courts and in the parliament, I suggest, is that you take matters step by step.” And it is clear by recent events that there are those who are...

Bigotry slander abuse - what next?

Image
Gay Couple with child (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) WE ALL know that you don't have to be the same to be equal. And yet same-sex marriage lobbyists propose the only way they can be equal is to be legally the same as married couples . The latest attempt to change marriage legislation by fatigue is in Noosa , where local resident Robin Bristow has taken aim at the Mayor and the CEO because they have declined to enter the same-sex marriage debate. THE OTHER SIDE: SOAPBOX- IGNORE THE ADS, SAME-SEX COUPLE MAKE GREAT PARENTS Mr Bristow claims this is bigotry and has promised to start a national campaign, including demonstrations outside council. He is quoted as saying, "get ready for the confetti, rainbow chalk and television cameras". Noosa Council CEO Brett de Chastel has rightly pointed out to Mr Bristow that marriage is a Commonwealth issue, and the focus of the Noosa council is on local government issues they actually have jurisdiction over. Apart from this issue being a...

Homosexual marriage - referendum vs Plebiscite vs Change Constitution

Image
English: Tony Abbott in 2010. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Any referendum questions on marriage must canvass the consequences of change, allowing a free and open debate, Australian Christian Lobby Managing Director Lyle Shelton said today. “This debate can’t continue with television networks like Channel 7 and Channel 10 refusing to run innocuous advertisements putting the other side of the argument,” Mr Shelton said. “The word ‘bigotry’, used again by journalists on social media last night, must be dropped from the public discourse so that there is complete freedom to put the alternative view.” Mr Shelton said the Prime Minister Tony Abbott ’s floating of a referendum or plebiscite next term of Parliament gave breathing space for ordinary Australians to be allowed to know what is at stake. “Any referendum questions must canvass the harms to freedom of speech, religion and conscience raised by the Australian Human Right’s Commission’s ‘freedom commissioner’ Tim Wilson ...

Australian Coalition says no to same sex marriage - but will LGBT keep fighting so kids can't have a mum and dad?

Image
The Coalition's overwhelming party room decision for marriage is a win for the millions of Australians who will always believe it is between one man and one woman. Australian Christian Lobby Managing Director Lyle Shelton thanked the Prime Minister and Coalition Senators and Members for speaking so clearly. "The Prime Minister and Coalition parliamentarians have shown great courage and leadership in speaking for marriage at a time when a powerful minority have made it difficult to speak. "Tonight's decision means all Australians remain free to speak what they believe about marriage without fear. It is so important we keep speaking without fear about the benefits of marriage and why its definition should be preserved. "Coalition parliamentarians have shown great courage in staring down a determined political campaign driven by a small minority who have co-opted the media, celebrities and even corporate Australia . "It is clear from polling that same-...

Australian Poll prefers Mum & Dad to Gay Parents

FINDINGS AND IMPLICATIONS “Our first question benchmarks the question from Sexton 2011 and finds the same high level of support for the fundamental rights of the child: 76% of Australians agree that “where possible, as a society, we should try to ensure that children are raised by their own mother and father”. “We get the same figure, 76%, in response to our question about marriage as a compound right: whether people agree “that the right to marry includes the right to found a family”. “Significantly, that means a quarter of Australians (24%) do not understand that the right to marry includes the right to found a family, as defined in theUniversal Declaration of Human Rights Article 16. That means they do not understand that laws for homosexual marriage include the right for two men to create a family by surrogacy or adoption – with the consequence that any state laws which presently prohibit same-sex adoption or surrogacy will be overturned. “If every fourth Australian fails to under...

SAME-SEX ‘MARRIAGE’ DISCRIMINATES AGAINST KIDS

As the Australian Federal Parliament reconvenes, in a week that will see yet another same-sex 'marriage' Bill tabled, the Australian Marriage Forum has placed a full page Ad in The Australian, challenging the injustice of so-called “marriage equality”. “It is time to take the gay lobby down from their moral high horse”, said Dr David van Gend, President of the Australian Marriage Forum. “They are obsessed with an adult-centred view of “marriage equality” that removes just discrimination against homosexual adults while inflicting unjust discrimination against children”, he said. “If 'equality' for adults can only come at the cost of inequality for kids, where is the justice in that?” Dr van Gend asked. “If 'equal love' for two gay men can only come at the cost of destroying the primal love between a mother and her baby, what is loving about that?” “And if a movement that has demanded 'tolerance' of society now shows gross intolerance of anybody who disag...

High Court said NO to Homosexual marriage

Image
The Abbott government got what it bargained for in having the ACT homosexual marriage law overturned. The High Court said that the Federal Parliament can pass such a law. This has been known all along. Contention had surrounded whether the Federal Parliament could enact a same-sex marriage law . The question hinged on the word ''marriage'' in section 51 of the constitution, which defined the scope of federal power in the area. The meaning to be given to ''marriage'' exposed two very different ways of interpreting the constitution. On the one hand, the High Court could limit ''marriage'' to being between a man and woman by taking an originalist perspective, that is, by reading the constitution according to the intentions of its framers. Alternatively, the court might take a more liberal approach by allowing the word to evolve. Opponents of homosexual marriage made much of this lingering constitutional uncertainty. Lawyers for the Pres...
