I think it was mentioned in another article, politicians are more than happy to vote to go to war, even though the majority of them have never been in the army or a conflict, yet want to spend mega bucks on a voluntary postal vote over an important issue like same sex marriage.

Listening o Lyle shelton's interview on Tom Ballard's podcast. Interesting. I get the impression that the key issue for him really is commercail surrogacy, which is where he sees genuine "marriage equality" inevitably leading. Children being deliberately separated from their birth parents is what they can't accept.

That's pretty obviously not the case. I mean maybe they care about that as well, but it's hardly the main driving force behind the opposition to SSM.

But traditional adoption where kids are given up to straight parents by other straight parents/single parents is fine?

Ask not to whom the Anidavatar belongs; it belongs to thee.

quote:

Mr Shorten has suggested he and Malcolm Turnbull jointly write a letter to every Australian, "stating that we both support marriage equality and encouraging every Australian to say yes".

"I think it would be a very healthy moment, not only in the marriage equality debate but in Australian politics," Mr Shorten said.

Good and reasonable idea given the circumstances...

quote:

Mr Turnbull said it could be "counter-productive" to co-sign a letter with Mr Shorten.

Except Turnbull is the most gutless hack. Imagine having less of a spine that Shorten.

No I think they would prefer that didn't happen too. Unless the birth parents are demonstrably unfit I suppose. But notice I said 'deliberately'.

I think I literally cannot comprehend or articulate the base-level hatred that's at play with some of these people, I physically cannot hate something as much as these people hate gay people. Any mention of children is at best a secondary concern, at worst a total smokescreen.

The ACL have pivoted towards safe schools and gender fluidity being their reason to oppose SSM on a slippery slope idiot argument.

Most of their press poo poo is making this their key argument and citing the ever reliable "overseas" as being a victim of safe schools ideology. Allegedly a Jewish school is going to be forced to close down in the UK because they're refusing to teach safe schools type classes. They're painting it up as being that the school is being asked to turn the children into gay homo transvestities whereas the actual program sounds more like a civics class that says "these are the groups protected from discrimination under law, if you are one of them, you are entitled to live peacefully in the united kingdom".

I told my dad that I'd been playing and really enjoying Deus Ex. He asked if that was appropriate for someone my age (I was about 14 at the time). He thought I was saying "Day of sex" so then I had to explain cyberpunk and Deus Ex Machina to him. He loved science fiction but had never read Gibson or Dick.

Years later we watched Ghost in the Shell stand alone complex together and he loved it.

It's me, I'm the guy who got his dad into anime.

You have to be a regular day to day punter with ears that can hear the dog whistle.


e: I know I shouldn't even blink at this, but when you get people on facebook and in comments flagrantly breaking out "faggots" and related words on articles about SSM (which disclosing their family, work and associated details) it blows my mind.

It's not about 'taking them at face value'. It's about figuring out how to engage.

Edit: if that's something you're interested in of course. Which a lot of people understandably are not. Lucky we probably don't need to for this one cos we should have the numbers.

So what is?

I think Abbott is kind of right when he says a no vote for SSM is a no vote for political correctness, as it's basically just a proxy for fear and hatred of left wing progressivism and urban inner city elitists (not to discount that they also genuinely loathe gays)
