"Are gay people people? y/n": The Australian Marriage Equality Voluntary Postal Survey Thread

people who think marriage is, as Mojo Nixon said, a way to screw yourself up REAL good are also "people"

Sure, but in your country at least you can make that choice one way or t'other.

xps ben law’s qe should be required reading. i’ve not finished it but even the first part explains exactly what safe schools is and isn’t.

Truth. I wish I could make my dad read it. He probably wouldnt.

xps: South Melbourne, not far from the market. a lovely area if a little bougie.

i miss south melb market and the plant nursery on the tramline. I mean Brunswick is nice but I still feel like a southside gal sometimes.

also Ben's QE is one of the best things I've read this year. The hysteria and misinformation out there in relation to Safe Schools absolutely infuriates me and I'm glad a relatively high profile writer took the time to meticulously correct the record.

mono were you someone else previously on 'ere or are you a new mongrel ILXor?

Relatively new breed I think (can't remember when I joined - maybe 2012?)

September 4, 2012

don't call it a comeback

sic.xls

still so impatient. I have literally had the number of people I could go into a sham marriage DOUBLED, WHY MUST I WAIT.

Heartening conversation with my 100yo grandmother last night, who is all in favour of gay marriage and voted yes

We got a new green state mp, first indigenous woman in the state parliament too. Things are looking up.

yeah this is a clear and long-overdue turning point imo.

james: that is incredibly excellent and almost made me cry (again, for like the 70th time this week)

I had avoided even discussing the topic with anyone whose views i did not know as it was all so depressing, so this was a very nice surprise

me too, legitimately could not deal with learning who the bigots are

also you have the best grandfather

nice sizzle there pato

maybe we're meant to be surprised that bigots are falling over themselves to corrupt this

And now we can have a golden gaytime this summer.

golden gaytimes should be banned because my religious freedoms

Barrie Cassidy was pointing out the obvious on AM this morning with Jon Faine that if they push hard for "religious freedoms" around this, they shoot themselves in the foot cos hey, Islam is a religion too you idiots.

otm, can’t wait for them to accidentally defend burqas

no they'll say it's about fuckin' 'strayan fuckin' values which are Judeo-Christian and not some raghead bullshit.

why? because they are cunts.

Wearing a burqa = un-Australian
fiddling kiddies = GROUSE!

no they'll say it's about fuckin' 'strayan fuckin' values which are Judeo-Christian and not some raghead bullshit.

why? because they are cunts.

look edwardo, they're only trying to strike a balance between the freedom to destroy the lives of everyone they hate and the freedom to turn every australian into a fucking handmaid

it's not their fault they're hostile fucking bigots who ignore everything about their religion the second they have a chance to kick a non-straight literally in the face

it passed!!

IT DONE

and something in the region of 900,000 people are telling lyle shelton to eat shit

finally a good thing in a terrible year

YES

i have cried several times this evening and now i am drinking pinot noir

went to trivia tonight and our team name in round 1 was "Suck shit Lyle", then in round 2 we were "Keep sucking shit Lyle"

lol

Listening to the Senate debate last week with all the “reasonable” arguments about the “rights” of bigots to cling to their bigotry was enough to erase any magnanimity toward the misguided noes. Imagine in the aftermath of the 1967 referendum, arguments being made to modify the recognition of indigenous citizens to protect the beliefs of people who really really feel that non white races are inferior. I mean, it’s their traditional belief, right? And yet all this poison was spoken righteously and entered into the parliamentary records of our country. Fuck you, bigots, I hope you squirm in your discomfort. It’s done now. Fix your hearts or die.

eat shit Lyle made my morning

That's pretty beautiful.

love my homeland for eat shit lyle <3 brings a tear it does

a genuinely admirable display of GOOD Australianness, which we've been sorely lacking recently

So who's getting an invite for January 9th?

The correct term is proposal.

well said. what a fucking embarrassment. although it was delightful to hear christensen shriek about the cheering in the gallery, which was followed by cheering in the gallery. and the more the gallery cheered, the more it wound up the bigots. there's nothing like an angry sore loser, especially when they're fucking muck, and it's on video and in hansard for eternity. good. they can fucking die.

...it will take me a VERY VERY VERY long time to stop being weapons-grade furious with those fuck trumpets, probably never
