The plebiscite about 'same-sex marriage' is not about marriage
Who cares what ‘contract’ two people want to enter into?
The left made it (in debate and in action) about:
- Accepting their gender ideology
- Changing society to conform to exceptional
- Punishing non-conformance with vindictive acts of abuse
- Rolling out the ridicule bandwagon
And the arguments they made as a ‘for’ case are stupid and illogical anyway, but that is another debate.
Conservatives would still let them have their way if all they wanted was freedom to be their individual selves. But no, they are seeking State sanction for their lifestyle, and by extension the moral approval by those who would disagree.
If you truly lived a minority lifestyle and all you wanted to is to be left well alone, and not be punished or disadvantaged in any way, everybody would be on board with that. In fact, there is no discrimination, and the ‘rights’ they want can easily be given via civil union and the concomitant laws.
But, by seeking forced consent and tacit approval and especially co-opting a religious ceremony, it becomes a brazen attack on the rights of the majority.
