Gay Marriage and the Christian Lobby
December 16th 2007 22:19
Christopher Pearson comments on the upcoming stouch between the activist ALP ACT Government and the Australian Christian Lobby, with poor old Kevin in the middle. Gay Civil Union has reared its ugly head, Christian civilisation is yet again at risk but not to worry -Hillsong and the SDA will ride to the rescue.
My view is that traditional marriage will stand or fall on its own evident merits. It is no sexual Trebizond - heterosexuals will continue to marry and beget children regardless of whether or not gay people (and others in an interdependency relationship) can commit to one another and be registered. The barbarians are not battering down the walls of the last citadel.
Will more boys turn out gay as a result of having gay marriage, as Christopher infers? Is heterosexual identity really that fragile - or only during adolescence?
There are a host of unanswered questions here - a veritable herd of elephants in the living room.
