How, exactly?

Hypothetical: every single gay couple in the world gets married, legally, tomorrow.

How is any straight marriage going to be affected?

What will change in the lives of straight husbands and wives?

What, exactly, will be "destroyed"?

Polygymy will be next along with raft of expensive laws and discrimination cases.

No, get stuffed with your Marxist crap.

I've read a lot of comments on Oz Pol about this general issue. Iam aware there are other topics on this, but they seem to be awfully driven by narrow views.

I want to say I have no problem with the idea, or the reality. It doesn't OFFEND or UPSET me. The world as we know it, will not end.

I cannot see what is wrong with this.

I DO wonder at the viciousness and fear shown in comments by some posters on Oz Pol, opposing the idea.
Both the reality of same-sex marriage,  AND the Plebiscite.

I understand that the majority of Australians feel the same as I do. What IS the problem?

I see no good reason to waste about $ 200 million on a
non-binding plebiscite, with the tentative date of 11 Feb 2017, as announced today ,  with public funding for YES and NO campaigns to the tune of $7 000 000 plus each for arguing the case in the public arena.

WHY?.
This seems such a retrograde and expensive piece of political waste, when the money could be much better applied elsewhere.
WHO wants this plebiscite.?  and WHY.?.
Cannot our government do as they are elected to, and act in the name of the majority of voters.?





They ARE doing that by keeping marriage between a man and woman. That IS the majority opinion given that various biased polls on the question dont count.   And this is the interesting question for opponents of a plebiscite. If it is not held there will NOT be gay marriagae at least this govt term. So why is there opposition to it?

I assume you meant polygyny.

Why are you opposed to that?

I voted no because of what I have heard Marxists openly admit about 'gay marriage': this is not about granting 'equal rights' (adults already have the right to marry), but about destroying the insitution of marriage. I think a video was even released during the Irish referendum which captured one of them admitting this publicly. Why would I want to see the central tenet of family life destroyed?



it's a good point and one that raises the question of the 'gay agenda'. Given that they have equality what is the argument for a peice of paper that people are abandoning in droves anyhow? I question the motives and agenda of a group that creates such chaos and hatred all to acheive something that has no practical value. Is it merely so that they can create trouble or is it as the above post suggests, part of an attempt to destroy the family unit which is a tenet of marxist ideology.

PS. Ive never met a happy gay. it is perhaps the worst descriptive word ever.

What is it about heterosexual polygyny that you dislike so much?

With SSM, you just hate homosexuals. We all know that.

However, I assume that you don't hate heterosexuals.

So, why do you hate polygyny?

Because that will be next on the leftist list of ideas to bugger with society in bad ways.

I don't hate homosexuals. I hate progressive ideology. Progressives should be burnt at the stake.

There are days when I could agree. For instance, OPPOSING a plebiscite... What exactly is the motivation for gays and lefties to oppose an actual chance to get what they want?

Germany in the twenties  went through a period of permissiveness and decadence that directly led to Nazism. Do you want to further pervert Australian society to the point that drastic measures will be required to bring it back together again? Bear in mind, periods of radical liberalism are well documented all throughout history and they ALL led to the demise of nations/empires.

Social taboos have evolved because they can cause conflict, disease or even extinction.

Polygyny would likely lead to an increase in assaults and murders.  Monogamy on the other hand is stability.

Incest, to hereditary disease and eventual infertility of the gene pool (extinction)

Same sex marriage, well if everyone complied it would lead to extinction too....but that's like saying, if everyone committed suicide it'd lead to extinction...it aint gunna happen.

Yes.  Not because I agree with it, but because it's none of the Govt's business, unless it's used to rip off the tax-payer in some way.  Which I'm still suss about.  Cheesy

Yesterday, Lisa/Marvel/Sunny Beach Babe said that homosexuals would eventually breed themselves out of existence.

Without doubt, the funniest (most ignorant) comment I've seen on here for quite some time.

However, we now have a new contender.
