Patriot wrote:The founding fathers of the USA had it right and I quote “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness”.So with that in mind I believe that all people are equal under the law,therefore same sex couples should be permitted to have their union officially recognised by the Attorney General of Australia, in other words pursue happiness.
Over the last ten years i believe Australia has changed course and the destination is “tyranny of the the minority”.Had the SSM survey happened Ten years ago I would have voted yes every day of the week but I voted No, despite having a close family member who is gay,I voted no because I am tired being told what is right by the politically correct minority, by having my liberty to say and speak what I think being infringed, and having my pursuit of happiness frustrated by cultral marxists who hate life liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
