Do you have some examples of this actually happening ?
Businesses are there to make money,they will take all the money they can get.
Agreed, they can serve who they like.
The reality is, if a cake shop refuses to serve someone because they are gay, there will be a social media sh!tstorm and they will lose business. 99.9% of businesses will just serve anyone who walks in anyway.
There was a time I might have agreed with your sentiments on this junior, but since viewing just a little of the deplorable "safe schools" programme content, I believe that the evidence of that alone, provides more than ample justification for holding fears about the direction in which our society might now be heading.The overcrowded, already stretched public school system will never 'take over' the parenting of the child. You are peddling a ridiculous fear campaign.
No it won't.
You might have bought the sales pitch, but I most certainly didn't!It's not an agenda to turn everyone gay. It's simply an issue of equality and inclusiveness. A positive change.
As I am sure has many times already been pointed out, homosexual adults were never denied the opportunity to actually marry!Much like the blacks and women gained the same rights as everyone else, so too will homosexuals, and society will be better for it.
You keep harking back to the 'old days'. I don't find your examples relevant to today.
I don't think we need a legal system to enforce 'fairness' these days, anyone who blatantly discriminates will be pilloried in the media and that is sufficient incentive not to do it imo.
Do you think its ok for businesses open to the public to not serve blacks?
Some pubs around the country don't serve aboriginals because they are problem drinkers. Is that racist ?
Yes, if they are simply banning all aboriginals.
I suggest being called racist is better than having your property smashed up by drunks.
if you can't see that judging whole races on the actions of a few, I think you need to sort out some of your own issues.
Where pubs ban aboriginals they usually have the support of the police who sometimes actually run the pubs.
I doubt you can provide an example of that
ADAM GILES, NT CHIEF MINISTER: We're seeing a reduction in wholesale consumption of alcohol and what we put that down to is more targeted or better targeted policing operations on the street in the Northern Territory since we've taken office.
MICHAEL COGGAN: In Alice Springs and regional towns where alcohol-fuelled violence is high, police stand guard outside bottle shops to check identification.
People living in dry Aboriginal communities or town camps aren't allowed to drink at home and face having alcohol seized.
I doubt you can provide an example of that
You might have bought the sales pitch, but I most certainly didn't!

Furthermore, I am sickened, to god damned death, of being witness to so much heterophobic behaviour! Our society is becoming more divided, largely it seems, consequent to these concerted efforts, by minorities, to legally impose their elitist definition of "equality" on all and sundry! Hypocrisy, barely even begins to describe that which I am seeing.
Can someone give us a summary of the main issues dealt with, without any bias. Usually there is a winner in debating, or a draw.
Mate of mine Owns the Daly Waters Pub. (Just sold it new owners in Oct).
They are banned there.
They do go somewhere else.
