Some history on Australian Politicians pushing their homosexual agenda against the wishes of many

Image
Kevin Rudd (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Nine politicians in the Australian Capital Territory Legislative Assembly tried to legalise homosexual marriage on behalf of all Australians. The nine were a predictable Labor-Green alliance and were opposed by eight Liberals. And also this week the Labor-Green government in Tasmania tried and failed to revive its recently rejected bill for same-sex marriage. A political party is in terminal decline when common sense amongst its leaders is no longer common. Throughout recorded history, common sense has understood that marriage is not just about adults – it’s about the needs and rights of children, too. Not so with new Labor, whose leaders have succumbed to the adult-only narcissism of “marriage equality”. Union leader Paul Howes told the Labor party this month “you do not belong with us” if you oppose the “fair go” of letting two men marry. But nowhere in his speech was there any consideration of a fair go for children created within such...

Sinful homosexuals want to force people to respect them!

Andrew Bolt writes in the Herald Sun .  IT was meant to stop us worrying, but one bit of Labor's new policy for same-sex marriage is a warning. I mean this: "These amendments should ensure that nothing in the Marriage Act imposes an obligation on a minister of religion to solemnise any marriage. I'm sure most of the delegates at Labor's national conference on the weekend did mean it. They just wanted the law changed so men could marry men, and women could marry women. And they didn't want to use equal opportunity laws to then force churches to bless them. But I wouldn't take this guarantee to the bank. The whole idea of changing the Marriage Act is to force us collectively to bless same-sex unions despite the reluctance of many to do so. After all, forms of same-sex civil unions - which I support - already exist in Queensland, Tasmania , Victoria, the ACT and NSW. The legal difference between those unions and marriages are usually small, so what more is gai...

Homosexuality is a slippery slope like abortion

Australia needs a referendum on redefining marriage

Image
English: Tony Abbott in 2010. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) September 10, 2013 ( Mercatornet.com ) - Same-sex marriage was a big loser in Australia ’s election over the weekend. Former Prime Minister Kevin Rudd sank beneath the waves with his rainbow colours nailed to the mast. Rudd began his campaign to unseat the incumbent PM, Julia Gillard , back in May with a born-again conversion. He promised that he would introduce a bill within 100 days of being re-elected and made gay marriage a centrepiece of his pre-election campaigning. Astonishingly, on the very threshold of electoral annihilation, he gave an interview to The Australian in which he insisted that same-sex marriage was his Christian responsibility. "It was not simply a question about policy but about my fundamental qualifications to be called a Christian,"  he said . Perhaps in Mr Rudd’s inner-city seat of Griffith in Brisbane fervour for same-sex marriage was running high. Perhaps outspoken support was ...

Politician abuses pro-marriage pastor over homosexual marriage

Image
Kevin Rudd (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) The Australian Courier Mail is reporting: LABOR won't win another election unless it learns from Kevin Rudd's astonishing performance on Monday's Q&A. Want to understand Labor's fall? Then watch the Prime Minister abuse a pastor for holding an opinion on same-sex marriage which Rudd shared only four months ago. That Rudd also trashed the Bible - holy book of the faith he ostentatiously professes - made him seem even more cynical and unprincipled. What a metaphor for Labor's six years in office. Matt Prater , a New Hope Church pastor and Christian broadcaster, was in the ABC's Q&A audience and asked Rudd about his decision in May to support same-sex marriage. Said Prater: "Most of the listeners and callers we have had in our radio station have been saying they won't be voting for you because . . . you seem to keep chopping and changing your beliefs just to get a popular vote with regards to thin...

Kevin Rudd declares war on Marriage

Image
In recent years gay "marriage" has had no realistic chance of being legislated or recognised at a federal level in Australia as both ex-Prime Minister Julia Gillard and opposition leader Tony Abbott were staunchly opposed.  However, on Sunday night during an election debate with second-time Prime Minister Kevin Rudd , everything changed and “marriage equality” is now a high profile election issue. Sunday evening saw the first of the three televised debates between Prime Minister Kevin Rudd MP and Opposition Leader, Tony Abbott MP, in the lead-up to the national elections on the 7 th  of September. Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd The debate was driven by questions being fired from a panel of Australian political journalists on issues such as the economy, health, aged care, education and border protection. At the last, and before the leaders gave their summary addresses, the moderator, Skynews journalist David Speers , fired off his own question on same-se...

Why should the homosexual agenda influence Labor?

Image
English: Kevin Rudd, 26th Prime Minister of Australia. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) ABC reports: ACT Deputy Chief Minister Andrew Barr is urging federal Labor's new leadership team to make same-sex marriage an election issue. Former prime minister Julia Gillard opposed marriage equality, but Kevin Rudd , his deputy Anthony Albanese , and Senate leader Penny Wong have spoken out in favour of change. Mr Barr supports of homosexual rights and claims it is an issue that resonates in the community. The question is there are many even in Parliament who disagree. Young people influenced by Will & Grace and other Hollywood show support homosexuality because they see the nice side of the propaganda. Rarely do they see the act, AIDS, the promiscuity, the immorality and short lived lust filled relationships. "It's a clear point of differentiation between Prime Minister Rudd and the Opposition," Barr said. "It represents an opportunity on an issue that certainly is...

Australia must not follow New Zealand immoral homosexual marriage

Image
English: Tony Abbott in 2010. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Please  email your federal MP  today urging them not to allow the definition of marriage to be tampered with. The rainbow swastika agenda is plain and clear. They care little for children and marriage, they only want to use Godly marriage for their own agenda to push acceptance of homosexuality.   Despite your great success in influencing the Australian Parliament ’s decisive rejection of same-sex marriage last September by a margin of 2-1, marriage is again under threat. While Opposition Leader Tony Abbott ’s personal view on marriage between a man and a woman is solid,  he said last week  it was possible for the Liberal Party room to move away from this as a party position after the election by allowing a conscience vote. Similarly, the Prime Minister Julia Gillard has also been consistent in her personal view that marriage is between a man and a woman, despite the Labor Party breaking i...
