Why I am voting NO - homosexual Marriage

Image
This is why I will be voting No to same sex marriage There's no doubt that central to the concept of family is a definition of marriage involving a man and a woman for the purpose of procreation. With only minor exceptions over some hundreds of years and across all the major religions, this is how marriage has been, and continues to be, defined. It's also true that about 98 per cent of Australians identify as heterosexual and according to the 2011 census figures only 1 per cent of Australian couples are same-sex, with surveys suggesting only a minority want same-sex marriage. There are more important issues to worry about. We should also forget the Safe Schools' postmodern, deconstructed definition of marriage where gender and sexuality are fluid and limitless and individuals are free to choose whatever they choose to self-identify as. No matter how much gays and lesbians might want to wish otherwise from a physiological and biological point of view, only men and women ...

Dear Gay Community: Your Kids are hurting

Image
Heather Barwick was raised by her mother and her mother's same-sex partner . She is a former gay -marriage advocate turned children's rights activist. She is a wife and mother of four rambunctious kids. Gay community , I am your daughter. My mom raised me with her same-sex partner back in the ’80s and ’90s. She and my dad were married for a little while. She knew she was gay before they got married, but things were different back then. That’s how I got here. It was complicated as you can imagine. She left him when I was two or three because she wanted a chance to be happy with someone she really loved: a woman. I loved my mom’s partner, but another mom could never have replaced the father I lost My dad wasn’t a great guy, and after she left him he didn’t bother coming around anymore. Do you remember that book, “ Heather Has Two Mommies ”? That was my life. My mom, her partner, and I lived in a cozy little house in the ‘burbs of a very liberal and open-minded area. Her ...

Polyamorous marriage - homosexual slippery slope three-way weddings?

Image
A so-called "throuple" in Colombia have been hailed as having the first legal union between three men in the world. So will we see three-way or four-way marriages in the future? Marriage is now mocked and destroyed by homosexual lust. THE HOMOSEXUAL ILLOGICAL MARRIAGE STUPIDITY Manuel José Bermúdez Andrade, Víctor Hugo Prada and Alejandro Rodríguez are all in a relationship together. They used to be four but their boyfriend Alex Esnéider Zabala died in 2014. "The decision to marry was there before Alex died, the four of us wanted to get married," says Víctor. "Alex's cancer changed our plans. But I never gave up." When Alex died, the remaining three, who live in the Colombian city of Medellín, say they had to fight to be seen as his partners and get access to his pension. It made them all the more determined to get legal recognition of their relationship. They are now planning their long-awaited wedding ceremony after a supportive lawyer signed ...

Liberal writer: Deny bishop a Catholic funeral if he won’t give them to people in gay ‘marriages’

Image
A  National Catholic Reporter  writer argued that Bishop Thomas Paprocki should be sacked and denied a Catholic funeral because of new guidelines he released that stipulate Catholic funerals are not for unrepentant people in same-sex "marriages." Michael Sean Winters called the decree "unhinged" and argued that it's in conflict with Pope 's document on marriage,  Amoris Laetitia . Winters also wrote that if he knew he'd die in six months, he would enter into a same-sex "marriage" with his former roommate because it would make things easier on his dog.  Winters began his article by stating that Paprocki should be "sacked." "The decree is so completely at odds with the direction Pope Francis is trying to take the church, so excessive in its perception of the cultural significance of gay marriage , and so unlike the example of Jesus presented in the Gospels, it warrants the extreme sanction of removal from office prop...

Protestants still oppose homosexual marriage

Image
Same Sex Marriage (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Republicans —whose party has often opposed liberal LGBT rights policies—against gay marriage ; 48 percent of Republicans and Republican-leaning voters are opposed, while 47 percent support same-sex marriage. This is a dangerous slide. Among those in favor are, for the first time, the baby boomer generation , of whom 56 percent now back same sex-marriage, with 39 percent against it.  But among religious groups, support had risen, but opinions were split, with a majority of Catholics (67 percent) supporting same-sex marriage, whereas evangelical Protestants still retained a majority who oppose it.

Enough is enough. There are bigger issues than gay marriage

Image
The Senate’s rejection of the February 11 people’s vote on same-sex marriage should be the time to draw a line under this long-running saga. Most Australians don’t rate it as a top order issue and, quite frankly, have had enough. Even gay marriage advocates of the Turnbull Government such as Tim Wilson , Trent Zimmerman and their fellow traveller Warren Entsch have rightly said there is no plan B. It’s plebiscite or nothing. This was the Coalition’s election commitment; failure to honour it would be a breach of trust. Gay marriage now remains gridlocked for years and few will be worried about this, apart from activists in the inner city areas of Sydney and Melbourne where rainbow flags adorn shop windows. Quite frankly there are bigger issues facing the nation. There is no popular clamour for a change to the Marriage Act. Even the left-leaning GetUp! organisation’s supporters consistently rate same-sex marriage way down their list of priorities, with it coming in at number ...

Australian Politicians hate Christians - love LGBT

‘Haters’, ‘rabid right’, ‘vicious', and 'rump’: names your senators called you yesterday There was a good deal of name-calling yesterday in Parliament – all directed at anyone who supports the government’s election promise to hold a people’s vote on marriage. Senator Anne Urquhart referred to the ‘rabid right’ and the ‘vicious anti- marriage equality lobby’. Senator Susan Lines said Australia was being held hostage by ‘a Rump’ of right-wing conservatives. Senator Sarah Hanson-Young spoke of ‘ideologs and haters’. Complaining of the ‘many, many, deeply, deeply offensive emails’ she received from constituents opposed to same sex marriage, Lines explained that she refuses to answer such emails – and unfortunately for anyone who would wish to investigate this further - they get deleted. Lines argued that a respectful public debate is impossible because it gives a strong voice to those who oppose same-sex marriage and would therefore be ‘divisive’. It seems that Lines ...

Australia: Melbourne teacher refuses to teach ‘lewd’ safe schools and respectful relationships program

Image
A MELBOURNE high school teacher says she would refuse to teach “lewd” material in the Victorian government ’s mandatory respectful relationships program to be introduced in all state schools next year. Moira Deeming, a teacher and mother-of-three, said she was shocked by the content and would rather be fired from her job than teach such “sleazy, unnecessary drivel” to her students. Ms Deeming, 33, said educating children as young as 12 about porn and getting them to have classroom discussions about masturbation and sex was not appropriate and would not help to stop gender-based violence and discrimination as the program intended. Under the program, children as young as prep are also being introduced to same-sex relationships through children’s books, including Tango Makes Three, a tale about two male penguins who adopt a baby penguin. The book has been banned in Singapore and after parent outrage was scrapped from some school libraries in the UK and the US . It also featured in ...
