i think it would be a step In the right direction, and would hopefully bring equal rights faster, however a plebiscite only reflects the majority position.
What a load of garbage, we have seen what is happening in the countries that have taken on same sex marriage.
As I said, the activists are no different to what you complain about with ISIS, crush people that don't agree.
We lose our freedom of speech.
Vandalism and moral decay.
When the ACT legalised same sex marriage in 2013, it went to the High Court, who ruled against it as invalid under the constitution.
This was because of the definition of marriage under the Marriage Act. Hence, a change to the Marriage Act is a change to the constitution.
According to the Gay Marriage lobby, majority opinion is heavily in favour of Gay Marriage. However, as they say in politics "there is only one poll that counts", and given what happened in Ireland the GM lobby should be clamouring for a plebiscite, however when the plebiscite option is raised the GM lobby seems to go quiet.
Perhaps they would rather get results by hassling a few politicians instead of letting the public have a say.

I do genuinely regret that Syd. I'd gladly see that sort of idiot get a taste of their own medicine!Being gay i can tell you I still face the odd bit of discrimination. It's certainly better than my uni days, but you still get the odd redneck or religious bigot that wishes to discriminate or shout abuse....[/I]
Of course it is. You think the gay fashion, the gay lisp, the arm gesticulations are congenital? If they are it just proves how gays aren't normal, doesn't it.It's just like the push for marriage, it's just another fad to accommodate the socialists/fabians who need to rage against the machine.
Challenging society to absorb homosexuals into hetronormative behaviours is pissing a fair few homosexuals off.
I like what one of them says in a blog:
"I am most annoyed by straight people’s calls for it. ................ Their gay friends must love the drama of it all"
Tony Abbot's looking good for my vote
BTW You know that twerp gayboy who is doing the Optus ads ... he's a boy that was raised literally around the corner from me in QLD and his accent is one of those wonders of human creation. His brother is gay too...howse that for proof it's genetic.
Your posts are certainly full of homophobic comments, always raises my suspicions - the most homophobic people are quite often gay themselves and torn apart by self conflict between their sexuality and their religious teaching and repressive upbringing.
The whole socialist/fabian conspiracy stuff is good for a giggle, but again it reflects very poorly on your ability to articulate any sort of rational argument.

As Bill Maher recently said "If something anti-gay is always coming out of your mouth, something very gay is probably going in."
Seems to be very true in the USA. Wouldn't surprise me if the same here too.
While some anti-gay people may be closet gay, don't think you can generalise it.
To say a homophobic might be gay... that's like saying the Nazi are Jewish; White Supremacists are coloured.
Sometime people just don't like another other group of people. Could be ignorance, upbringing, bad experience...
While you are correct it shouldnt be generalised, its not uncommon that the most homophobic and bigoted turn out to be actually gay themselves. As I said its probably caused by the internal conflict of being in denial of their true sexuality combined with the religious and repressive upbringing.
Just think of the number of high profile religious homophobes that were then discovered to be homosexual themselves.
Its not really equivelent to saying Nazis are Jewish or White Supremists coloured - they are poor analogies.
But I don't think you and Sydboy were serious about the point though. So any who...
Tink it is actually those that are opposed to marriage equality that have views more aligned with ISIS who execute those of that persuasion. If gays were able to marry tomorrow I'm really not sure how life would change for anyone other than those that wish to have a gay marriage.
Mate you need to take a bex and have a good lie down.
You are just making a fool of yourself now, you are reinforcing the point I made that you have no valid arguments for the continuation of marriage discrimination on the basis of sexuality.

Seriously, you will be amazed to discover that once this discrimination is removed, the sky wont fall in, straight people will still be just as married, it actually will make no difference to anyone except the gay people that chose to partake of the civil act of marriage.

How many more hackneyed clichés do you have in that box of yours. You forgot to segue in the deep south of USA and blacks.
Why do you gays have to resort to labels when you can't come up with a valid reason for wrecking an institution that probably seeded your own births.
