What's the heterosexual divorce rate in Australia? The percentage of illegitimate children? The percentage of ABANDONED children.
A gay couple NEVER has an unwanted child. Nor do we kick them out of the house for being heterosexual.
Gay couples get married because they love each other and WANT to get married.

It's nicely ironic that he immediately followed that statement with several bigoted assertions. That takes a special kind of stupid.

Per this wikipedia article, there's been only one reported human death - back in 1926.

However, they can certainly inflict injury.

Had breakfast at a friend's house in the QLD rainforest. I was about to put a banana in my mouth when a cassowary walked out of the woods with his chick(males do the rearing) and walked up where I had nowhere to run. I offered him my banana. He took it. and walked quietly away and watched us for a few minutes and then lead his chick away. Met a lady on the same trip who rescued orphaned Kangaroos. The wildlife there is really up close and wonderful.

They are the measure by which we must be compared? No no no. Australia is as infected with xnty as we are. "...gay men are typically ‘unfaithful’ and that having one partner to be ‘unrealistic and unnatural,’" not unlike Breeders We Have Known. Anyway, this will come as news to my partner of 37 years.

Actually, what's the break-up rate among non-married heterosexuals, because, like their unmarried homosexual counterparts, they don't have the bond of marriage to keep them together.

In at least half of the cases here in the states, it could also be pointed out that "the bond of marriage" doesn't keep them together, either.

"Well, farmers are notorious for hiring farmhands or ranchhands who are usually young, single men, who bunk together, shower together, wear tight jeans and sexy boots, help each other over the fence or over a hay bale... I really can't stop picturing the lurid things these menfolk are doing. God! So, so sexy. So hot...

Okay... then what about Newt Gingrich? He who started dating the woman who'd become his second wife while still married to the first wife. He who started dating his current wife while still married to his second wife. And served that poor woman divorce papers when she was in the hospital with cancer.
Tell us again about Conservatives' adherence to "family values" and "sanctity of marriage"? Oh, yeah... the first two didn't count because they weren't Catholic weddings.

Newt is my "go to" when I want to piss of straight people extolling the "sanctity" of marriage. Newt Gingrich is the exemplar of EVERYTHING wrong with conservatism, the Republican party and the "faith community." The only thing Newt missed out on was raping an alter boy and there's still time for that.
But... according to conservatives... Newt is just fine. His wives were sequential, he converted to the Catholic faith and he's remained faithful/hasn't been caught cheating on Calista (yet!)
See, WE live by a higher moral standard than they do. I find Gingrich absolutely fucking APPALLING!

And don't forget that the first two marriages were annulled. While that would seem to mean that his kids are illegitimate, I'm sure there are catholitic loopholes that kick in depending on the amount paid for the annulments.

Now wait a moment, GayOldLady. One of the precepts of religion is providing wiggle room. What we're forced to believe is one god (or the Ballentine Beer or oil concept of 3-in-1) for everyone. Multiple gods make every bit as much sense, as do different commandments for the Ls, Gs, Bs, Ts, and Qs among us. You and I have been outsiders long enough to know that any religion we might come up with would be different, creative, inclusive, and fabulous. Come back, please, GayOldLady. Sainthood awaits.

First step in religio-genesis is to craft a list of sincerely held beliefs, preferably rendered in stone. Then you can (like all true believers) throw them in the face of the "unbelievers".

1. Thou shalt venerate the lost art of "Disco," and venerate the prophets Gloria Gaynor, Donna Summer and Patti LaBelle.
2. Just because they make it in thy size doesn't mean thou shouldst wear it.
3. Always use a condom
4. Don't say thou art a "top" when thou art just a bossy "bottom."
5. Thou shalt not exaggerate the size of your penis on Grinder beyond one inch in length OR thickness, not both.
6. Thou shalt not wear "color block."

This Aus-hole quotes Dan Savage's neologism "monogamish" to discredit relationships between (presumably) gay men, but Savage never restricted the term to gays (or men). Indeed, Savage most often discusses "monogamishness" in the context of hetero relationships.
And, as usual, the bigot completely ignores lesbians in his irrational screed.

37 years, but we've decided against marrying because his SSI would be reduced (because my SS income is SO high we'd never notice the difference). Funny how our Truly Religious congress lets the grannies (straight and gay) live in sin. Lets? Practically demands. Still, there's something to be said for shacking up.

So he both criticizes gay men for not forming monogamous unions AND says we shouldn't be allowed to form them in the first place. So what the hell does he want? Christians have been talking out of both sides of their mouths for 2,000 years, and I for one am sick to goddamn death of it.

Umm... Because you want to form a family with someone, but that doesn't necessarily include monogamy?
As long as neither party is deceiving the other it's up to them how they live their lives.

Totally agree. I used to be a big promoter of the "monogamy" thing, but my hangups that people should all be monogamous have changed as I've gotten older. I realize in the end it's about love and emotional commitment, and that sexuality isn't the primary determiner of that. I think the bigger issue, for me, are the ones who pretend and lie about being true and monogamous, and then slip around on the sly. I don't see an issue if both parties are in agreement and the arrangement works for them.

I agree as long as you include the "trick on the side" having the right to be informed as well. Just because the married couple has an agreement, doesn't mean that the feelings and aspirations of the "third party" are irrelevant. He (or she) may be looking for a relationship of their own, not just to be used in a fling.

People often equate non-monogamy with *cheating,* or breaking marriage oaths, ...but they simply aren't necessarily the same. Christianists simply don't approve of anyone agreeing to such a thing, cause then they can't make people beg 'forgiveness' for 'sinning' or something. In a sense they want to force any non-monogamy to be deceitful or oathbreaking, regardless of what the people involved think.
Legally, of course, it's irrelevant and disingenuous. Civil marriage being set up for two people doesn't change if two gay people get married.

The importance of equality for us is SSI and end-of-life issues. For example, I've delayed taking my SSI to claim spousal benefits under what's-is-name's. This is a real windfall and will mean tens of thousands of dollars over the years. He's older than I am so we're both bracing for what's ahead. But having a legal structure is a great help. We live in rural NY and have met with nothing but respect regarding our status.

Whether your are in a monogamous couple or not is irrelevant to the discussion of who should be allowed to exercise their right to marry - the private arrangements of married couples are not the business of the state.

To anyone that thinks otherwise, well, they're just stupid and deserve to be treated as the utter morons they are. Enjoy your time in the sun as I think you might be expecting some snow or rain tomorrow.

They just keep bringing up the same arguments over and over again. Just grab it from the shit pile of history, dust it off, repackage it and use it to attack your newest target.
Just to post these two things one more time to drive the point home. First, my 90 year old uncle and his partner have been together for over 50 years. So fuck the gay men die young and are not monogamous argument. Second is this anti-womens suffrage flyer. Read it. The words and the reasoning are verbatim of what we here today and what we heard against inter-racial marriages.
When will these troglodytes just go away and leave the adults alone?!

In the last couple years I've done a bit of idle historical research and have come up against that. Women who were identifiable when unmarried lost not only their last names but became indistinguishable from other women married to men having the same name. The only way I was going to separate the men was by who married whom and that was the problem I faced.

 If my sisters (especially when they worked in bars etc. during college) and female cousins had a buck every time a married man hit on them, they would have paid off their college loans in five months, if that.
Are there same sex couples that will cheat on each other?
Hell yes, my ex being one of them.
 No excuse to deny marriage anymore then to straights because some will cheat on their spouses.

In a civil marriage, a couple's personal arrangements for governing their sexual relationships is no ones business, but their own - it certainly is not government's business. For the record, Bob Day is wrong - many gay people chose to have fidelity and enjoy a monogamous relationship. I have been with my husband for almost 38 years and in our case, we are happily monogamous, but we have friends that have an open relationship, and this arrangement works nicely for them - and they are happy. Everyone is different and people should be free to do what they want to do.

Wow, on this issue it's just like watching American anti-LGBT politics from 9,000 miles away.
Umm, to clarify, and I remind my narrow-minded heterosexual acquaintances who bring this up, many MEN are dogs, regardless of sexuality. This will get me a lot of flak here, but I think some people just aren't cut out for monogamy, which is why they cheat - it's not always all about "unhappiness" in marriage. Men, sexually, are very hormone-driven and so I think are likely more prone than females to be on the prowl. When you have two men as opposed to a woman + a man, it's even more pronounced. Doesn't mean all of them are, or that women can't be dogs, and many SS coupled men are quite content in monogamous relationships.
By this guy's logic, only lesbians should be allowed to get married.

Two words: Ashley Madison. Case in point, a dear hetero friend who adored his wife only to discover her on there and cheating. Their marriage is/was still valid.
You're completely right. And civil marriage has nothing to do with fidelity or monogamy. Heck every marriage is different in that respect. I know of open marriages, faithful marriages, etc. and guys and women who cheat. This has nothing to do with what the state recognizes or entitlement to equal treatment under the law.

By their logic Mary cheated on Joseph so they should be forced by law to call Jesus a bastard.

I suppose if he were the type for *that* by that God's religious laws, he wouldn't have let her stay a 'virgin' in the first place. Interesting.

That part of the story never made sense to me. In the eyes of the laws at that time period a unconsummated marriage wasn't a legal marriage. So either Joseph was family, or the whole story was nothing more than a fireside fable. I'm going with fable.

Eight to twelve percent of children, depending on the population studied, are not genetically related to the man who thinks he's their father. Modern genetics has exploded the myth of heterosexual monogamy in interesting ways.

The most reliable statistics indicate that some 25-33% of heterosexual marriages are adulterous. that already outnumbers the entire gay population by a factor of 6. If you add in the 40% of Hetero marriages that end in divorce, and assume that the 25% figure also applies...
Well, do the math.

First of all, I think we all know the stats on how faithful "monogamous" straight couples are. Secondly, since when did monogamy become a requirement for marriage? Although it is always held out as the ideal, there are plenty of relationships that have lasted 30 years and more where some kind of sexual adventurism is a part of the marriage.
This guy is just another bigot.

Thanks for saying that. I'm monogamous because I want to be, not because I have to be. My boyfriend is not monogamous because he doesn't want to be. And I never want to be in the position where he's lying to me because he's afraid of how I'll react.

i want to again my record of support for polygamy/polygyny. that's another discussion, but i am in favor of it and don't think it's wrong. if three people truly and honestly want to get married and enjoin into a legal relationship as well as a personal one, i believe that is their right, and more importantly not my business.
as to the complicated matter of what str8 people think they know about us? meh.
i don't want to say that only people who have lived the Scene know what i mean. we are different; it's part of what makes us what we are.
but the real point here, and Aussie Asswipes know it: str8s cheat. a lot. they make books full of Holy Rules telling them not to, but they still do it.
whenever any of them bring up anything about they way we have, or don't have, sex, remind them of that point. you people invented "cheating." not us.

I agree with you...to a point. This is going to sound awful, so bear with me...
After becoming intimately familiar with the costs of multiple marriage in Mormon cults, and witnessing the amount of "throw away" males that results and the abuse straight men get up to with women and minors when given the opportunity, I've come to the conclusion that multiple marriage between a straight man and more than one woman should not be allowed. Most of them simply could not behave themselves in a manner not damaging to society. Multiple marriages between one woman and more than one man, or any combination of gay people though would be fine. Straight men are simply too hard wired to amass harems, which then produce too many extra male 'throw away" children which then generates an enormous drain of misery and cost to society.

To be fair, Australia does seem to have a comparatively lower divorce rate. But that's probably because one or both partners are more likely to be killed by the local flora and fauna before they can get sick of each other.

Marriage is a legal contract between two people, giving them certain rights and benefits. There are no conditions mandated after the couple enters into the legal status of 'marriage' whereby the marriage contract becomes invalid or forfeited. The state has no concern about the details of each particular marriage: whether they have sex or not; how often they have sex; if they have children or not; if they are faithful or not; what sexual positions they assume; etc.

AUSTRALIA: Senator Tells Parliament That Gay Men Aren’t Faithful Enough To Deserve Marriage
March 19, 2016 LGBT News, Marriage Equality


We’ve heard this one before. Gay Star News reports:

Family First Senator and marriage equality opponent Bob Day on Friday hit out at same-sex marriage, saying that most gay men in relationships are unfaithful to their partners.
During the second reading of the Marriage Equality Amendment Bill, the Senator for South Australia started his speech calling it ‘shameful that activists for marriage equality assume that opponents must be bigots.’
He rhetorically asked the chamber why not allow three people to marry if same-sex marriage is to be legalized.
‘If this bill seeks marriage equality, what is it trying to protect equally? What relationships then are not marriages? Why would redefining marriage stop at same-sex relationships? The bill talks about two people, but why not three?’
The chairman of the Family First Party further quoted gay sex columnist Dan Savage and gay Australian academic and activist Dennis Altman as saying that gay men are typically ‘unfaithful’ and that having one partner to be ‘unrealistic and unnatural’.
There was no vote on marriage following the Senate debate.

Yeah, Jeebiz said he did not come to bring peace, but to cause dissension. Matthew 10:34-37 — “Jesus said: Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I DID NOT COME TO BRING PEACE, BUT A SWORD. For I have come to turn a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law — a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.”

Came here to say just that. I was never bullied very badly, but grades 4-8 had some definite rough patches related to dating and cliques and popularity. Like, around that age, you're sort of beginning to figure out how to be cool and sometimes that means shitting on a kid nobody really likes, even if you don't really have a problem with them.

and it is very easy for people to come to that conclusion when you have people putting what is good for belief in their moral code over the safety and well-being of kids. If they need to chose between kids being bullied/ committing suicide or telling people that it is okay to be gay they will go with the former every time.

As one opponent of the anti-bullying program (George Christensen, the douchebag who claims that talking to kids about sex constitutes pedophilia) makes clear: the group that designs the program is expected to refuse to make the changes, at which point the plan is to eliminate the anti-bullying program altogether.

I guess the christians that lobbied against this program don't give a shit about dead gay kids. They may think they are good and decent people, but nothing could be further from the truth. Every suicide of an LGBT child due to bullying is now on their hands. I have no doubt they will be swimming in blood. They've just given every bully a free pass and permission to bully.

Remember, bullying impacts and traumatizes more than LGBT kids, straight kids who look effeminate or butch, short kids, skinny kinds, over weight kids, poor kids, ... Apparently they just hate all kids who are not like them.
This is an attack on kids in general, just like the awful RFRA laws impact many more people than just LGBT folks. Their bigotry really is spreading out to harm so many.
And this does not in any way diminish the harm they are doing to the LGBT children and adults.

Yes, of course it does. All kinds of kids are bullied. It doesn't only impact the kids, it impacts the people who love them as well. It spreads and is costly as well. I didn't focus on those other children and I should have. There are no good reasons for anyone to be bullied. In schools today struggling students are also bullied as are the super bright ones. I blame parents for not teaching their children empathy. No one asks to be smart, struggling, gay, beautiful, unattractive, etc.

If it's acceptable to bully or oppress LGBT people, nothing says the slurs and 'accusations' have to be 'true,' (Or relevant, for that matter.) ....Just like they'll attack Sikhs if it's OK to hate Muslims, they only care about their own flimsy sense of dominance. They'll as soon call you 'queer' for being 'too smart' as for not being interested in sex with them or whatever. It's about control.

I completely agree with you, Friday. A lot of it is about control. Bullying for whatever reason is never acceptable. Bullying due to perception is equally wrong and should not be tolerated.
It's been my experience schools do a very poor job in this area. They are all too willing to sweep it under the rug and wait for victims to age out, drop out, or kill themselves.

I wanna be a little offended by this thread, but I kinda can't be 'cause I'm really comfortable and, at times, even a little proud of my bipolar. My mom's from Sicily, and Greece used to use Sicily the same way the Brits used Australia: prisoners and mental patients. So there's a higher incidence of mental illness among Sicilians compared to other Italians. There's a joke(ish thing) about us being "half Crazy Greek." So, sorry we got "dumped" on you, but it's important to me that I don't get lumped in with the wrong group of crazies, 'cause my queer, atheistic, bipolar circle is a lot more fun than the puritanical, kid-screwing-over, religious one. Plus, sometimes we get the fun meds, all they get is, like, prayer 'n shit.

Ah yes, because those we like to bully and/or their bigoted parents are really going to want to use this. Also, secondary school, really? By that point beliefs are already ingrained and thus makes this program completely pointless. At least this new PM is showing that he is exactly like Abbott. I hope this costs his party lots of seats and Turbull loses his position as PM as a result.

Canada would be just as bad, as would the United States, if we didn't both have constitutionally binding Bill/Charter of Rights. Australia doesn't.
The Chrétien/Martin government wouldn't have done it without the pressure of court rulings and the Harper government wouldn't have done it at all even with court rulings. Were it not for the Charter, we wouldn't be having marriage in Canada till Trudeau took power.
The list of US states that recognized marriage of their own volition because it was the right thing to do is rather pathetically small, even if we include the states that had it vetoed by their governor. In Canada, the provinces don't have jurisdiction over marriage, but Quebec did bring in civil union legislation of its own volition that included everything they legally could do, including automatic recognition of parental rights for lesbian couples and allowing for the ceremonies to be performed by clergy. It was also the only place in the world where the legislation passed unanimously.

It sounds as if Australian parents are over-protective of their special snowflakes, and won't brook any teacher dragging a non-Aboriginal bully-snowflake to the principal's office for some discipline. We've corrupted them. Who cares why a kid is bullied? There are plenty of targets, not just gay kids - Aboriginal kids (of course), ugly kids, fat kids, early maturing girls aka "sluts", the poorest kid in the class, smart kids, etc. MOST parents should want some kind of "safe schools" policy. Bullying behavior should not be tolerated on school grounds.

There is that really stupid element of society that has a dog eat dog mentality that thinks you "toughen people up" by making them submit to bullying. They actually believe that if you follow the teachings of Christ and treat people the way you would like to be treated, you end up with a bunch of sissies. In fact, what you would end up with is a bunch of happy and well-adjusted adults. And when you allow the bullying to continue unabated, you end up with a bunch of thuggish malicious brutes on the one hand, and a bunch of emotionally scarred youths and adults on the other.

The problem is some parents teach their kids to hate others and bullying is ok. When these same kids go into a public place and school, they must learn how to behave according to social norms which include respect for other and that bullying is wrong. Kids spend more time with teachers and friends than they do with their parents 5 days a week. It is the schools where our kids learn to be good adults who can function out in the world.

That isn't how it works in my neck of the woods. Kids go into school in their gym uniforms and stay in them all day. There isn't any showering. Unfortunately, far too many parents who produce bullies and bigots let tv and their bible raise them. By the time they get into school, they have to be taught even basic things like washing their hands after they use the bathroom.

for example if the parents teach their kids that the earth is only around 6,000 years old would you also say that the school should not teach anything to contradict that?

first of that homosexuality is a normal variation of human sexuality is not ideology, it is science.
secondly it is not only the job of schools to teach science but to also teach people to be good members of society. ensuring that they do not use violence against people becasue of who they are is a big part of that. so nothing about a bulling program that includes the topic of sexual orientation is ideology.

Those against these programs want their ideology of shunning gays and lesbians to rule elementary schools.

Silence about minorities -- religious, racial, sexual -- is an ideology itself.

Then don't complain when they'll teach an ideology you won't like.

Find me a school that has been "neutral" about sexuality and I'll show you an empty school.

Explain what you mean by ideology, because I don't understand or it doesn't mean what you think it does.

Look at the material that was used.
Schools should teach facts, not opinion and values.

The fact is people can not go around bullying others because of something they don't like. Society will not permit you to bully or fight with people in public or on the job. Respecting others even when you don't agree with them is the civilized thing to do. You need to go visit a class or 2 and see just what goes on. I was a teacher and just teaching the lessons is only a part of what they have to do. I'm guessing you are not a parent because you would know dealing with children is so much more that teaching facts.

I agree with the thought, but the reliability of some parents is questionable. Some of them should never have been parents to begin with. There should be a qualification exam I think ;-)

yeah, it sounds nice. but then think of all the really bad parents you know or have seen, people with good educations and high IQs.
some of the most messed up people i've ever known were the children of people who would ace any test you could give them.

I don't think he wants to test intelligence, but common sense, and common sense can be sadly lacking in intelligent, wealthy folk.

Wrong! One has to be carefully taught to hate and if not in the schools, then who the hell is going to teach them? So many parents hate and pass it on to their children. Fail!!!!!

AUSTRALIA: Government Guts Anti-Bullying Program
March 18, 2016 LGBT News, Religion


Christian groups have won their battle against Australia’s anti-bullying “Safe Schools” program. Via the Guardian:

The Turnbull government has made dramatic changes to its Safe Schools anti-bullying program that have been described by the scheme’s opponents as “gutting” its content.
The changes sharply reduce the lesson content, restrict it to secondary schools, shift the program to a government website, remove all links to other material and sites, and add a requirement that students get parental consent and schools get parent-body consent before opting to use its materials.
The education minister, Simon Birmingham, said this was a “strong but measured response” to the concerns raised by Christian groups and conservative MPs, including the former prime minister Tony Abbott, who demanded for the program to be defunded. There were also claims made that it promoted Marxism and had links to paedophilia and pornography.
The campaign against the program was launched by the virulently anti-LGBT Australian Christian Lobby.
