Comments on: Penny Wong vs Cory Bernardi: the marriage equality debate that has already been won /news/national-news/penny-wong-vs-cory-bernardi-the-marriage-equality-debate-that-has-already-been-won/139164 Setting Australia’s LGBTI agenda since 1979 Sat, 08 Aug 2015 14:55:27 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.5.5 By: Tony Rogers /news/national-news/penny-wong-vs-cory-bernardi-the-marriage-equality-debate-that-has-already-been-won/139164#comment-461371 Sat, 08 Aug 2015 14:55:27 +0000 https://starobserver.com.au/?p=139164#comment-461371 In Bernardi’s aim to belittle our important wishes to marry by saying “it is now difficult to know what is a right and what is simply a desire”, does that mean that his view of heterosexual marriage (which is also essentially seen as important) is just a ‘right or a ‘desire’?

When are prominent people/politicians, who are for marriage equality, going to quote the article from ABC-TV’s ‘Fact Check’ (Nov 2013) about how Abbott, Bernardi, and their ilk are incorrect with *their* biased view of the history of marriage? Please view the link attached below.

Everyone… please read that ABC report, and the links to academic research, and pass them onto all supporters of our wishes for marriage equality, and all naysayers, to show proof *contrary* to the belief of the ‘tradition’ of marriage being *only* between a man and a woman.

Thanks.

BUILD A BRIDGE AND GET OVER IT and just legally allow gay marriage already – by passing Bill Shortens Marriage Equality Bill 2015 into law for god sake and do it immediately!

Well I and many others in our community have had enough long ago, and will not vote for any political parties or independents at the next federal election, that is coming up very soon! I love my brother and my brother who is in a committed relationship with another man – should have the legal and constitutional right to get married to his partner of 10 years!
