GAY TRUTH

Senator FIERRAVANTI-WELLS (New South Wales— Minister for International Development and the Pacific ) (16:33): I welcome the opportunity to contribute to this debate on the Marriage Amendment (Definition and Religious Freedoms) Bill 2017. In doing so, I echo the sentiments of almost five million Australians who, like me, voted no. Some senators have touched on the history of the Marriage Act. You would think that the traditional definition of marriage commenced only in 2004, conveniently overlooking the fact that the amendment passed the parliament with barely a whisper of opposition. In fact, the division on the final bill even showed Senator Wong as listed among the ayes. The Howard amendment, of course, merely confirmed what common law—a near universal understanding—had known for centuries: that marriage is the union of a man and a woman to the exclusion of all others voluntarily entered into for life. Today, even to suggest this point of view quickly leads to cries of bigotry or...

Some people seem to think that a ‘ Yes ’ vote will make the homosexual lobby happy and that they’ll go away and spend the rest of their time traipsing from one wedding to another. However, nothing could be further from the truth. A breakthrough on marriage represents a shattering of all defences against the onslaught of the Pink Panzers . They will not stop but will brutally and ruthlessly exploit the gap created to destroy all resistance. The goal is to completely and radically revolutionise society’s understanding of the family unit. Every remnant of the traditional concept of family must be eradicated, So before we rush headlong to the end of the rainbow, it would be worthwhile considering what battles have erupted in other nations once homosexual marriage was legalised. Like New Zealand. Family First New Zealand has just been stripped of its status as a charity. And this is the reason why: The Board considers that Family First has a purpose to promote its own particular vie...

There is a school of thought in the debate about redefining marriage that it is inevitable and that Christians should just sue for peace with the same-sex marriage activists. Try and extract as many protections for religious freedom as possible and roll over. To make it easier for us to capitulate, leading politicians such as Opposition Leader Bill Shorten , Attorney General George Brandis and Tim Wilson say same-sex marriage and freedom of religion can co-exist. “I don’t accept the religious practice in this country is under threat,” Mr Shorten said this week. What he is essentially saying is it is okay to go to church and believe what you like there. But what is under threat, and what Mr Shorten is not telling us, is that religious practice outside the church, mosque or synagogue is under grave threat should the definition of marriage in law be changed. Indeed, it is now Labor policy to use the law to punish anyone who does not conform to same-sex marriage ideolog...

Islamic and ethnic groups are sounding warnings about the consequences of same-sex marriage in Australia , questioning whether parents will retain the freedom to promote the traditional definition of marriage to their children. Co-founder of the Australian Chinese for Families Association Pansy Lai said she was concerned that schemes such as the Safe Schools program, familiarising students with transgender concepts, could become compulsory if same-sex marriage were legalised. Last year, Dr Lai organised a NSW petition amassing 17,500 signatures from members of the Australian Chinese community in favour of scrapping Safe Schools, which she said promoted “in­appropriate sexual content to ­underage children”. She told The Australian yesterday that large numbers of the Austral­ian Chinese community kept to a traditional view of marriage­, many for reasons un­related to relig­ious conviction, and question­ed whether there were sufficient protections for them. “The religious people m...

“The Anglican Archbishop of Sydney­ has branded radical same-sex marriage campaigners as a ‘barge of bullies’ who are swamping the public debate with an ‘intro­spective, authoritarian den­ial of free speech’. Writing in The Australian today, Glenn Davies says the corporate world in Australia has been ‘press-ganged’ into supporting marriage equality and backing div­ersity by gay activists. ‘What kind of diversity is so monochrome that it does not allow differing­ expressions of opinion in the debate?’ he says. ‘This narrow-minded, freedom-restricting carping is what the same-sex marriage­ campaign has come to.’…” – Story from The Australian . Here is an excerpt from Archbishop Davies’ piece – “There is only one upside from the recent attacks and unprecedented abuse directed at an academic and the directors of Christian organisations: people are beginning to wake up and take notice. They are starting to understand that the campaign for same-sex marriage is not sailing on a raft ...

Education Minister Simon Birmingham has rejected claims that faith-based institutions will be harassed and coerced into complying with new views on same sex marriage . But there is no legislation to back up this statement at all? After 10 years of homosexual marriage in Canada a new very left government is closing faith schools that teach homosexuality is a sin. Canada now forces Catholic schools to have homosexual clubs where gay men come and talk about homosexuality. Tradeau says - have the clubs or loose registration. So Mr. Birmingham is making a promise today but what if Labor or greens get into power? The Catholic Archbishop of Sydney correctly claims faith-based institutions could have to operate differently and be forced to comply if a 'yes' vote is successful in the same-sex marriage survey. Senator Birmingham says all those with traditional views will be able to operate as they do today if the vote succeeds and same-sex marriage is legalised. What legislation...

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 ...

Twenty years after Labor Party leaders changed the law - the last Australian state decriminalised homosexuality , Australians will ask themselves whether gay men and women should be allowed to marry. Think about that. Why was it decriminalized? Because Labor said any behaviour behind closed doors (private) has not to do with the Government . How wrong were they? Domestic violence, physical abuse, pedophilia all happen now behind closed doors and is illegal. This is simply - selective immorality, where some homosexuals wanted they behaviour decriminalized. In the space of just two decades, barely the lifetime of a teenager, community mores around homosexuality have gone from locking gay men up if they kiss on the street to cheering them on as they kiss at the altar, at least insofar as our attitudes are reflected in our statutes. But it was driven by Labor Governments. But as we embark on what is effectively a three month long election campaign we should consider the scale of t...

Tim Farron MP (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron has said under intense pro-homosexual media pressure that homosexuality is not sin...but in reality he believes homosexuality is a sin . Under pressure, "I don't believe that gay sex is a sin," Farron said after he was further pressed on the issue during a television interview with BBC political correspondent Eleanor Garnier on Tuesday. Last week Farron, a practising Christian, faced widespread condemnation by the extreme left and by homosexual zealots, after he avoided clarifying whether he believed being gay was a sin during an interview with Channel 4 News . Farron believes the Bible is clear on the topic. He was later asked again by Conservative MP Nigel Evans in the House of Commons and said he did not think it was a sin to be gay, but stopped short of saying whether he considered gay sex to be a sin. "I believe as the apostle Paul and all of scripture." But on Tuesday...

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...

English: Justice of the High Court of Australia, Michael Donald Kirby. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) A former Australian high court judge says Pacific Island nations are dragging the chain on LGBTI rights . Although, the UN has not designated homosexuality as a human right. But if people keep saying - some people believe it. Michael Kirby , a homosexual an a former High Court Judge said on Thursday Pacific nations must re-evaluate their stance on gay rights and reform anti gay laws. "When I was young in Australia the law also criminalised gay people, but eventually scientific evidence showed they don't choose their sexual orientation, and they can't change it, and therefore to criminalise it is like punishing them for their skin colour or race, or some other irrelevant consideration," he told ABC Radio on Thursday ."  Unfortunately, the APA now says that you are not born gay. So why does Kirby keep telling untruths implying - gays can''t chang...

The activists it seems never eat nor sleep. They are constantly looking to remake society in their own disordered image, and they seem especially intent on targeting our children – tirelessly, relentlessly, and unashamedly. If only parents and other concerned citizens worked as hard to protect our children from the radical social engineers… Consider the latest homosexual blitzkrieg aimed at levelling society and turning our culture into a homosexual paradise – or rather nightmare. Check this out: Students across Victoria will soon have the opportunity to celebrate LGBTI History Month as part of their curriculum, the first of its kind in Australia . For the month of October schools will be able to highlight the largely invisible history of sexual and gender diverse people in the country. The initiative was announced and will be led by the Safe Schools Coalition Victoria (SSCV), Minus18, and the Australian Lesbian and Gay Archives (ALGA). Manager of SSCV Roz Ward sa...
