GAY TRUTH

They also got a glimpse of what will happen to their freedom of speech and freedom of association should marriage ever be redefined in law. It simply will not be possible to publicly hold a dissenting view without facing demonisation at best and legal action at worst. The viscous intimidation of staff at the Sydney Airport Mercure Hotel brought to light one of the long-standing and key tactics of same-sex marriage advocates for shutting down debate. The Mercure Hotel said that their staff were “rattled” by the phone calls and abuse they copped when activists started targeting them for hosting a pro-marriage event. The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Sydney , the Anglican Diocese of Sydney , the advocacy group Marriage Alliance and ACL had booked a meeting room to hold a campaign briefing for more than 100 coalition partner groups. The meeting was scheduled for tonight and is going ahead at a different location. Sadly, we have to meet in secret. I don’t think this is the sort of Aust...

Meet Evan. According to the current edition of Time Magazine , he and his baby are the new frontier in the brave new world same-sex marriage is creating for us. Biologically, Evan is a woman but we are not allowed to call her this. Despite transitioning some years ago to identify as a man, Evan proved her femininity by dialing back the testosterone supplements enough to allow her to fall pregnant. Evan, the woman identifying as a man, recently became the mother of a child through sperm donation. This is because Evan's partner is a woman and despite Evan identifying as a man, the couple were unable to conceive without outside help. For the record, ACL believes donor conception and surrogacy in all its forms is ethically problematic. The photo of the bearded, hairy chested Evan breast feeding his/her baby is confronting. Some things just can't be unseen. I've made another PC faux pas by referencing breast feeding in this context. Time, which celebrates this development as ...

That the radical left is not in the least bit interested in what the masses think and believe is quite apparent by the appalling disdain they show for genuine public debate. They do not want real debate to take place , and they do not want the ordinary citizen to be able to have a say in important social and political issues. The secular left pretends it is the voice of the people, but the truth is, it can’t stand the people. It does not want them to have a voice at all. They think their “superior” views are the only legitimate views out there. As Bill Buckley said long ago, “Liberals claim to want to give a hearing to other views, but then are shocked and offended to discover that there are other views.” Or as Mark Steyn more recently put it, “The Left does not want to win the debate, it wants to shut down the debate.” And we find this happening time and time again. Consider the issue of homosexuality and homosexual marriage. The left does not want these matters discussed a...

We hold referendums before making changes to our legal constitution – a plebiscite seems not inappropriate before making an unprecedented change to our social constitution In a wide-ranging speech delivered last week and published in the Guardian (“Straight politicians don’t understand what it’s like to hide their relationships in fear), Senate opposition leader Penny Wong made the case against a plebiscite on the redefinition of the marriage. Her three claims were:   ppposition to homosexual marriage is essentially homophobia Australian people cannot be trusted to have a respectful discussion about such matters Homosexual marriage should be left to the parliament Is it true that all defenders of the traditional definition of marriage act out of “condemnation … animosity … casual and deliberate prejudice… [and] hate” towards same-sex attracted people, as Penny Wong suggests?  Well, until a few years ago the senator herself opposed the redefinition of mar...
