I have gay friends and family who I treat no differently to my straight friends and family.

Oh yes you do.

Here's the proof:

I simply believe that marriage is between a man and a woman.

How do I treat them differently? I don't believe in gay marriage. But if it happens, would I refuse to attend a gay marriage involving my friends or family? Of course not. I wouldn't banish them from my life. You seem to believe that people are incapable of co-existing when they have differing points of view and your comments merely back up what Latham has said.

If we say we're against gay marriage, we're immediately shouted down as being homophobic. That couldn't be further from the truth in my case. I have gay friends and family who I treat no differently to my straight friends and family. I simply believe that marriage is between a man and a woman. If we had been created to procreate with either gender, we'd have been made with two sets of genitals. But we're not. If homosexuality were considered the norm, mankind would've gone the way of the dinosaurs thousands of years ago.

You start out talking about marriage, and then change the subject to procreation.

Try to remain focused.

How do I treat them differently?

Jesus Armpit, are you serious?

You regard straights as people who should be allowed to marry, while you view homosexuals as people who should not be allowed to marry.

That's the epitome of different treatment.

For what reason would you consider their union worth less than yours?

Latham has been knocked back repeatedly by every media organisation in the country .. the only one left that will accept any of his work is the smellograp and that's only for as long as he continues to bash the left.

Latham should go and get a job and start paying taxes instead of consuming taxes from hardworking tax payers !!

Honestly is this the value we get from these lay-about former politicians ??

Armpit won't tell you why he treats them differently, because he doesn't believe that he does.

It's not incredible at any level.
I have many gay friends, none of whom want this same sex marriage crap or need it. They tell me its just a noisy minority within the community, they like their lives as they are.
They say its just something LW progs have latched onto and they have no problem accepting that Marriage is a heterosexual tradition as it has always been.

Some of my best friends are Aboriginal.
