The Australian Plebiscite for Marriage Equality

[Pete]

I couldn't understand the ad either. Damn kangaroo accents.

I kid.

I think the easiest way to look at gay marriage is very simple. Look yourself in the mirror and ask if it truly affects you. If you're straight, it doesn't; and who cares, let the gays marry. If you're gay, it affects you and you should have the right to marry. Boom. Gay marriage solved.

It's up to the churches if they're willing to perform the ceremony, but that doesn't really matter either. The government is the one truly providing the benefits with a marriage, or civil union, if you feel like marriage is strictly a religious term. People are really only looking for equality, and that's not too hard to accomplish.

I don't understand the ad, and it's slippery slope ideas. It has nothing to do with gay marriage, and the examples provided are vague. It's never stated that any kids were forced to dress up against their will, or that they were forced into assuming same sex relationship roles. It just sounds like schools were being maybe a little too progressive, and touching on subjects that parents weren't comfortable with having their kids learn.

If that's the case, maybe the schools shouldn't be trying to teach lessons about this stuff. Maybe that's the parents decision as to if and when their kids should be informed about different lifestyles. The one message that should be taught from both sides is one of tolerance and acceptance. Pretty sure Jesus wanted everyone to treat each other with love and kindness. Even if you don't agree someones choices or lifestyle, if it doesn't affect you, who cares? But maybe keep bedroom stuff out of the classroom, other than basic sex ed.

It's just as dumb as the "If we let the gays marry, why can't we marry dogs or trees" argument, though. If your kid turns out to be gay, whatever. It wasn't a choice, it wasn't a taught or learned behavior, it's just what it is.

Except for retards with multiple genders and identities. Those people are attention whores and I'm convinced they do more harm than good. You're not an apache helicopter, shut up.

Pete what do you mean by people with multiple genders? The people that say they are neither male nor female or non binary, genderfluid etc. What does this statement of yours encompass? I'm a transgender mtf just saying. You have every right to think I'm an attention whore and that my identity is invalid. While I'd also assume the right to think your an attention whore for trying to attract attention from a possible transperson reading your immature comment.
