Abetz and Bernardi are entitled to hold their views and make them public....I doubt it will make much difference to the outcome!!!

Huh

It will put the Libs into quite the dilemma. If the proposed plebiscite says 'yeas,' and a Coalition Government then says 'nay,' all hell ought to break loose.

A likely outcome , the Libs are that out of touch one has to wonder if they think it wont get past plebiscite when its highly probable it will .

You probably think that constitutes a compelling argument. IN fact, it is people like him and his appalling attitude that turns people right off. He starts his rant with the position that your views dont matter and nor does your kid. The only people who would nod in agreement are childless gay-supporters. The rest are more likely to be put off.

Speaking of compelling arguments, you stated marriage equality only effect 36 people. I know more than 36 people who this effects.

Your claims here in this thread does not put you in a position to pass judgment on other posts.

I very much doubt you know 18 gay couples wanting to get married. Firstly, gay only affects 1% of the population. Gays are terribly promiscuous and notably poor at long-term relationships. Only those in long-term, sold relationships are likely to get married. Ergo, it affects very few people.

Your opinion is not based within factual reality. It is based on a delusional opinion of superiority.

It is based on overseas experience when gay marriage becomes available there is a rush for existing couples follopwed by a very slow dribble.

It?
That marriage equality only effects a max of 36 people across Australia?
Just dumping more unsubstantiated claims on top of your other baseless claims, makes them your opinions, and not fact.

Nothing terrifies me more than being next to someone who's in close with the Almighty during a battle.... I don't oppose gay marriage - I frankly don't give a rat's - I reject the concept that it equates to 'marriage equality', and I always respond to a demand with a NO!

If the gay marriage plebiscite were to be rejected, would you keep agitating for it still? Or would you calmly accept the verdict and move on without continually complaining?

1. I'm not agitating for it.

2. I would calmly accept any verdict.

3. I would move on.

4. I wouldn't complain.

That's you - not that I beleive you. But do you think everybody else will calmly accept a NO vote? Somehow, opponents are expected to suck-up a YES vote, but gay advocates are not expected to suck up a NO vote.
