Yup. Honestly, only #1 has any real validity for an argument against same sex marriage. If your holy book says that marriage is between a man and a woman, then so be it. The rest are garbage fearmongering.

I'm not saying it's a great argument outside of a particular religious belief, but it's the only one that can be argued with any sense of authority.

This is exactly what runs through my head everytime I see some article "John Howard slams X" or "John Howard says Y", why does anyone care anymore? He got the absolute poo poo kicked out of him in 2007, lost his seat and scuttled off into the darkness only to speak out because oh no the gays might be able to marry! Also, oh no gender fluidity, if Johnny doesn't have to identify as a man, then what is left for him to identify as?!

Oh man, if only this was the only thing that little loving gremlin spoke out about.

Howard was a piece of poo poo, but he was really the last Liberal leader to be half way competent and effective at anything other than wrecking things.

It's really no wonder they're trying to evoke his memory.

Leading "no" campaigner in Australia's same-sex marriage survey, Lyle Shelton, says parents should have the option to send their kids to gay conversion therapy.

In an interview with the BuzzFeed News political podcast Is it on? on Thursday, Shelton, who is the managing director of the Australian Christian Lobby (ACL), said that while he did not think adults should be forced into conversion therapy, it was up to parents as to whether their children should be counselled about same-sex attraction.

"I think anyone who wants to seek help for any issue they might be facing in their life should be free to do that," he said.

"Should people be forced to go to conversion therapy? No, absolutely not. Now, children — they are under the care and responsibility of their parents, so I think if someone's a minor, it is up to their parents. And I think parental rights should be respected.

"There's obviously got to be context and care and compassion in all of these situations, but ultimately children are in the care and the legal responsibility of their parents."

No campaigners want the right to stick electrodes on kids genitals and zap them. Still classy as ever.

Except most no voters are also the same people shrieking "NO SHARIA LAW!" so legally forcing their own religious beliefs on other citizens like that is complete hypocritical bullshit.

Also I just want to say that I'm pretty sure it's not "the yes campaign" or whatever which goes on about a ~respectful debate~, because the argument underpinning the "yes" campaign doesn't hinge on arguing that a group of humans have less rights because they are gay or something.

The only people talking about a 'respectful debate' are the more milquetoast conservative idiots who are crying about being persecuted for being called homophobic. 'Yes' campaigners generally never wanted the fight in the first place because they knew it couldn't be respectful, and are either conducting themselves as properly and kindly as possible or happily jumping down into the gutter to fight like hell, while the 'no' campaigners who aren't talking about a respectful debate never wanted one because they can't discuss the topic without peppering it with slurs and/or making it blatantly clear they consider LGBTIQ less than people.

I should note I think the world of both types of people in the 'yes' campaign. Conduct went out the window the moment that first poster went up, and there's nothing wrong with acknowledging that and fighting on that level, but even in a fight to the bloody end there's an important place for people who can keep smiling and being kind.
