plenty of hetero married couples cannot reproduce. Doesn't mean they shouldnt marry

JTH......sorry....that was one of your imponderables.......can you explain more fully?

[jackthehat]

You *do* seem to miss the obvious.

Lesbians are quite capable of having sex with a man.....any man. There doesn't have to be a 'special arrangement', or use of any 'appliances/implements'.

JTH...ah! thank you....yes that is true.

"Lesbians are quite capable of having sex with a man.....any man."

True.....you mean a sort of "convenient" sexual infidelity? Yes...

To be quite honest, I couldn't care less about the argument, my original post was to highlight the vagaries of AB debate with the same old antagonists and protagonists performing with the same old arguments.

And yet....and yet....
You still find time to pop along with your 'same old' comments.
'Tis the nature of the beast.

The public vote was in favour of same sex marriage but it still has to be put before the Australian government and passed before it becomes legal.

Are people really still objecting to this on the grounds that "if everyone were homosexual, we couldn't reproduce?"

This would of course make sense if we were being confronted with that problem - i.e. everyone becoming homosexual. But that manifestly isn't the case. Nor is there any evidence that more acceptance of homosexuality "turns" people who weren't already gay. It's a minority of adults who fall in love with people of the same sex, and always will be. All this utterly superficial pontificating about the "natural order" or "survival of the species" is just paper-thin excuses for the fact that people just find homosexuality icky. Which is completely irrelevant to a conversation about rights.

[ummmm]

And have you noticed that male homosexuality seems to be treated as more icky than female homosexuality?

And I'm sure you know as well as I do why that is, Ummmm.....x
