When I say it's not a conscious choice, I mean no one would consciously choose something that would have such potential for broad social rejection. It doesn't make sense to seek out such painful experiences.
I'm suggesting homosexuality might be a subconscious reaction to certain suboptimal relations with parents.
Regarding the same sex parent, poor/absent bonding might lead a person to seek that connection through a same sex partner.
Regarding the opposite sex parent, deep distrust might lead a person to give up hope of a heterosexual relationship and homosexuality presents the only possible alternative.
If this sort of process is a possibility, then it would necessarily be subconscious. Most unbearable pain gets shoved in there before it emerges in some other form as coping mechanism.
I note in the above article the reference to Safe Schools.
I'm firmly of the view that children can be taught a anti-bullying message without the need to include sexual fetishes or even sex more broadly.
So financially responsible the gays and lesbians - who knew!
They're back on ABC TV, trying to brainwash us about the cost of a plebiscite. They're not hypocritical at all.
Additional costs now include counselling for those distressed by the plebiscite, and the lost productivity due to absenteeism.
The debate is over they say (Fairfax press and the ABC presumably having shouted at us for long enough).
I really can't see any point in financing either side of the debate, it's not an issue that has weighty points of law to consider.
.
Why are they so worried about a plebiscite?
Still trying to silence us.
It's not that anyone is scared of a plebiscite, its that they results of the plebiscite don't matter.
So the views of the people "on the street" don't matter, it's all about what the elite politicians think ?
We may as well have a plutocracy if we don't already.
What I am saying is that the people "on the street" can not vote to deny basic human rights to a minority group.
surely you can understand this.
But the government can, and has done so a number of times.
What's the difference ?
In any case the people on the street may support your position. Why are you so afraid of their opinions

What basic human right are we talking about ?
the right of the tribe to protect itself in spite of the few who don't value it?
a few actually.
eg. the right to live without being discriminated against because of your gender, the right to live without being discriminated against because of your sexuality, right to marry.
So why is the "right" to marry, a basic human right ?
It's just an official recognition of a relationship. ]
I can see few benefits of marriage that are not recognised by de-facto relationships.
