GAY TRUTH

A February 11 marriage plebiscite is looking increasingly unlikely. Talks broke down yesterday between the Government and the Opposition about trying to find a way to steer enabling legislation for a people’s vote through the Parliament. We won’t know for sure until Parliament returns on October 10 but Labor has given every indication it will block the plebiscite in the Senate. The seeds of this were sown when Opposition Leader Bill Shorten said a plebiscite would cause people to take their own lives, a highly emotive and dangerous suggestion aimed at silencing debate. Labor should realise the danger and hyperbole of this rhetoric. It also says that Australians can’t be trusted to have a respectful debate. If Labor blocks the peoples’ vote, it is highly likely there will be no change to marriage for the remainder of this parliament. But the uncertainty surrounding the plebiscite does not mean that we should stop campaigning. Those seeking to change the definition of marriage are...

 Kristina Keneally. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) When it comes to the same-sex marriage plebiscite the Christian churches are making a mistake of biblical proportions. Before the 2 July election many Christian churches urged their voters to support a plebiscite by voting for the Coalition .  There is no way of knowing if this statement is true. Many Christian voters may have chosen to vote for independents and not the Coalition because Turnbull was promoting homosexual marriage as compared to Abbott who was againt it. There is no evidence for this comment. But it is true many, abandoned Turnbull. Sydney Catholic Archbishop Anthony Fisher didn’t tell his parishioners how to vote, but he did write that “we could all benefit from the kind of national conversation a plebiscite should occasion”. Fisher and I don’t agree on how marriage should be defined, but there was a time I largely agreed with him on that sentiment. But I’ve changed my mind. Keneally is wel...

(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 ac...

Image via Wikipedia New South Wales Premier Kristina Keneally has strongly berated Cardinal George Pell , saying she is greatly “saddened” by his recent comments criticizing Christian politicians who disregard Church teaching. She said she believes Pell risks being “interpreted as condemnatory and threatening.” Kealey who bills herself as a devout Catholic, opposes Church teaching on homosexuality and abortion. In an interview with the Herald Sun earlier this month, Cardinal Pell had criticized politicians who “fly under the Christian or Captain Catholic flag” but “blithely disregard Christian perspectives” when facing a vote on moral issues in parliament. “I read those comments from the Archbishop and, if anything, they saddened me,” Keneally  told  the Sunday Telegraph . “Almost every Catholic politician I know takes their responsibility as an elected representative and their faith very seriously,” said the Premier. “Many have really struggled, as have I, when moral iss...
