Gay Marriage

Considering Julia Gillard is the first woman to hold the office of Prime Minister, is an athiest, is unmarried and living in sin who may have been burnt at the stake as a witch in medieval times, I can not believe she votes against gay marriage.

Julia Gillard should thank the Australian people for not being as backward as she is, otherwise she would not be where she is today.

Not enough votes in it yet.
 
Why don’t we call it something else?

Marriage and its meaning has been taken and it means:

Union between Man and Woman, or should I be more politically correct and say Union between Woman and Man.

Maybe bit simplified logic:
Car is just that : CAR and motorbike can provide transport means too, but will not be called car.

You can't be serious Macquack.

I could be flippant and say that she has flip-flopped on most major policy positions over the past three years why shouldn't she be non-committed to the minor issues as well. At least she is being consistent with her spineless approach.

However that is not the reason for her position. The reason she hasn't taken a stance is that she knows it would mean an election meltdown.

It amazes me how the loudly chattering minority groups honestly believe they are part of the "silent majority".

isnt the term marriage a religious rite?

are we to rename all naming ceremonies, christenings?

Marriage isn't and hasn't been for eons a purely religious thing, it's a legal thing as well. I think that's part of the problem, it's not just a nice to have ceremonial thing, it's an important part of our societel framework and should not be treated lightly.

Christenings are purely religious although there is a secular version of them these days as well called naming ceremonies carried out by marriage celerants usually but they have no legal status (nor does a Christening).

i rather like the idea of burning rughead at the stake. she bats for the other team anyway i thought or maybe shes just a bit asexual like crud.

over the ditch aunty-clark, had a fictional settup for the public, ie token quiet man? who she rolled out come election year. she works for the un now so will b settup. it was like the states navys nuclear policy, ie no ask, no tell. it seemed to work, but you needed a real dopey populace and user friendly media. all a bit backward really.

tho i do really like the idea of burning rughead n co. maybe put them in a fed funded freshly insulated house....
 
Well, I tell ya what....AFL has got to be the blokiest sport in the world IMO, certainly amongst the fans. It's got to be the last frontier lol!

Good luck to them!

Hahaha...I had to have a chuckle at that. Seriously, seems way over the top. Considering the vast majority of players are not gay, it seems a little strange that they should have to play in a "gay pride match" anymore than making them play in an "black pride match".

The AFL have an "Indigenous Round" each year, with the focus on the Essendon vs Richmond game, called "Dreamtime at the G"

Note: 2.5% of the population of Aus are indigenous. 11% of AFL players are indigenous

Sure but an "indigenous round" is a bit different to an "indigenous pride round". Maybe it's just semantics. The NRL has a "women in league round"...It would sound pretty odd to call it a "women's pride" game.:D

The AFL also has a women in AFL round too. It's all rubbish as far as I'm concerned. I don't go tot the footy to have PC messages rammed down my throat - footy is my escape from all that! The biggest joke is indigenous round - it's indeigenous round every week in the AFL and we are all mighty grateful for that :xyxthumbs (thank you Buddy and Cyril in particular ;) ).
