Wow, does that guy know how to use weasel words or what?

“The experience in places like Massachusetts is that it is very difficult to have this conversation where the lifestyle is held to be the equal of marriage.”

So, homosexual sex is different from hetrosexual sex, therefore we shouldn’t let homosexual sex be equated with marriage because then it is hard to educate children about safe sex…. Mmmmm…. Nutsack.

What about the loads of Christian hyeo couples that enjoy anal and oral?

I found his comment that Greens care about trees more than children to be equally as stupid, although at least not so outright offensive. It’s the same vein as Romney’s comment that Obama wants to heal the Earth, Romney just wants to look after your family.

Do these halfwits not realise that protecting our environment is absolutely essential if we want to protect the future health and well-being of our children and the society they live in? I only became really environmentally aware after I had kids because I realised how important it is that they inherit a planet that is healthy enough to look after them.

It seems Gillard has backtracked and has now cancelled her appearance:

I wonder if the rally will still go ahead?

It was stupid and naive for Gillard (or her staff) to book the appearance at the conference in the first place. The ACL represents nobody and is just a hard right nutter group. Their huge influence with politicians and the way they were able to hold their conferences in the Great Hall and have all the political leaders in this country address them is a blight on this country. It is a frightening example of how an inconsequential pressure group can hijack the political agenda and railroad the rights of a substantial proportion of the population.

Well said.

It’s comforting, to a degree, that she or her advisors finally realised what an incredibly idiotic decision it was to give any oxygen at all to these scum in the first place – but they did make the decision in the first place. If you were in any doubt at all about how many principles Labor is prepared to sacrifice for a few tainted votes, look no further.

The sooner groups like this are ignored the better.

They add absolutely nothing to the debate, not that there is much to debate about.

Gillard did the right thing by refusing to talk to them.

Dare I say there are possibly even gay christians, who the ACL would claim are no longer christian despite their religious beliefs.

The ACL claim all sorts of whacky stuff, and like to pretend that a large segment of the community agree with them.

The ACL are to Christians what Leatherface is to Forestry Workers.

Except the Christian lobby group well and truly started this, its not like the lbgt community is advocating “no Christians”, where as plenty of Christians are advocating “no gays”.

This sums it up pretty well.

I guess there’s no need for them to worry now; it would appear she’s pulled out: http://www.smh.com.au/opinion/political-news/gillard-singes-christian-lobby-over-gay-smoking-remark-20120906-25fye.html

It’s a pretty aggressive move, when you think about it – picketing the visiti of a PM with a lobby group.

All this will do is convince some people that the real aim of the LBGT lobby is to remove the rights of Christians to have a public opinion or speak with politicians on anything. It doesn’t make them look like they really want equality.

If the Christians left the gays alone the gays would leave the Christians alone, but the Christian lobby just keeps on attacking.

The ‘Christian Lobby’ is not about christians it is about religious extremsits – I certainly hope they don’t speak for most christians…

Gillard doesn’t have a left bone in her body.

Given that the fundies never vote for anyone other than the family parties and the Libs I will never understand the inclination of Gillard and others, to waste precious oxygen on them. They’re filled with hate and ignorance, that they try to justify by saying that they just want to help people.

I find it hard to believe that someone from the left of the labor party, who lives with her boyfriend and is an atheist is sincerely opposed to gay marriage. She’s a total cynic.

Indeed. Don’t forget, though, that the “left” of the Labor Party is still the right.

She and her party are political whores who’ll sell out any principle for a vote.

lol

Have you seen the clothes she wears? A ranga who wears a bright orange blazer does not have any judgement whatsoever.

I may not know much, but I’ve learned not to fuck with dykes, they’re scary when angry.

Being a bloke, I find it remarkably easy not to f*ck with dykes. 🙂

Anyway, this is mind boggling. An atheist PM as the keynote speaker in front of a bunch of religious nutbags? What could she possibly be thinking, if anything?

These religious types can’t help themselves, always poking around in other people’s pants. Say what you like about the lbgt community, but at least they aren’t trying to control other people’s sex lives, the Christians are clearly the aggressors here.
