Love is love

[Risto the Great]

Homosexual marriage was approved by 61.6% of the voting population in Australia.

It is a vote for love.

Greeks soon will have the opportunity to marry their goats!

This is precisely the same as voting for a preferred outcome to a sporting match without knowing the rules of the game they will play.

But, love is love ...

The marti gras will now be 61% more gay.

Also the greeks can come out of hiding.

Equating Greeks to homosexuality in this context isn't fair to the gay community. A relationship between consenting adults is basically the same regardless of the gender of the participants or the number of people involved. While I'm pretty sure ancient Greece had proper same sex relationships at some point, they and Rome are actually better known for pederasty, which is pedophilia rather than homosexuality. Lord Byron's whole thing about searching out Greece for 'sexual liberty' was about pedophilia as well, as he had a thing for young boys and women who looked like young boys. It's a very important distinction to make.

I've heard about that vote a while back and that embarrassingly terrible ad against same sex marriage. I expected better from Australia but I guess the far right really is a world-wide problem these days.

It was a vote without considering any implications. It offered no proposed legislative protections for rights the majority of the population has enjoyed since the nation was created.

Are you suggesting there are no negative implications in Canada associated with homosexual marriage? Why not thrash out any potential issues in the vote? The nation could have voted on relevant issues they could relate to.

I understand nobody is a "natural parent" under Canadian law now, only a "legal parent". I find this diminishing.

I guess we will have to see what ends up in "hate speech" soon enough.

It's been a quiet year, how about a little latitude.
