Marriage equality debate - The plebiscite is on its way. (Cont in Pt 3)

[Sainteric]

Go Pies, on the right side of history this time.

“Equality is a right. It is no more complicated than that.

“Collingwood must be a home that is comfortable for all of its people, a place where inclusion, not exclusion, is valued and real.

“The club has a close partnership with Stand Up Events, to support the LGBTIQ communities and to raise awareness of sexual and gender equality.

“Hopefully, support for same sex marriage reinforces to each and every member of the Collingwood family that in Black and White we are one, regardless of gender, sexuality and cultural background.”

Lot of crap in here but the constant abuse from the yes side is concern

What does that have to do with SSM?

Are you going to answer Demon Tim's question or go into hiding for a while?

Sorry I have been busy for the last hour on the phone. Yeah looks like I ****ed up. The world will go on tomorrow just like it will after gay marriage gets passed.

Not as much as the inherent bigotry from the 'no' crowd. It's hard to feel sorry for them.

We've still got a lot of abusing to do, probably a few decades actually, to catch up with the abuse that the no side has subjected us to over the years.

My point exactly. It's unbelievable that this post has reached 409 pages, when there are NO logical reasons against same sex marriage. People are arguing in circles. What a waste of internet time. More hot air than in a hot air balloon competition. Sad!

Well damn, I only came here today and started on page 409 hoping that someone, anyone, could provide a logical reason to vote no.

Thank you for letting me know not to check page 408 and prior!

Marrying trees will be next.

Don't say you weren't warned.

How do you get consent from a tree?

 

[Happy Mastenator]

And not closely related. And not already married. And not the same sex as each other.

No mention of love in the marriage act.

No mention of being able to reproduce kids either, though apparently that's why gays can't marry

 

[Showbags]

Abbott comes out in support of the Yes campaign for SSM.

[Happy Mastenator]

I read an article recently that even if there is a majority NO returned the ABS will likely make a statistical inference on the data collected anyway which may conclude that YES has majority support.

We know yes has majority support. Survey after survey has shown it clearly in the affirmative.

Is it ok to post tomorrow?

What about the FACT that the LBGTI flag only has 6 colours? What did indigo do wrong? It is downright scandalous and obvious discrimination against indigo.

Indigo is not a colour. Nor is violet.

Does justice require getting even?

 

[HairyO]

Does justice require getting even?

Its more important to maintain an "us" and "them" attitude, because, afterall, "them" owe "us" for everything.

 

[QuietB]

Indigo is not a colour. Nor is violet.

Did they consider this before the survey?

And that's just like, your opinion anyway

 

[Sainteric]

What does that have to do with SSM?

Did you read the statement about equality is a right for all supporters regardless of cultural background?

Thats hardly been a collingwood trait it been reported allegedly that a recent black player was also called a chimp by coach and others.

Does justice require getting even?

One of the most positive things about this world is that the consequences of people's actions can remain with them well after the action has taken place. We see this in the world today, who would have thought that some shabby decisions made by people in the power back in the past will still be issues that affect us to this day?

Again, what does that have to do with SSM?

 

[Gough]

Collingwood have a LGBTI coterie group called the Pink Magpies for a good few years now.

It was an off the cuff comment. Just highlighting the hypocrisy of the Jesus camp claiming bullying when they've done that to gay people for decades. But no I don't condone it.

There's a couple of big ugly pikies that I wouldn't mind a free kick at by way of retribution.

Now now, you have to respect their opinion that kicking you was a valid display of their deeply held beliefs.

Look at the slippery slope SSM is creating, it makes you feel like you can kick back in retribution.

Think of the children!!!

So where do I send the bill for my time doing my local Coalition MPs job? Do I bill the party or the MP direct?
