One of the great advantages of being gay is not having to engage with this type of marriage bullshit.

I never once thought that in 30 years of activism that a so called community leader would lead a degeneration of debate into important policy issues to a discussion of wedding frocks!! Spare us all.

I really do think that Emily Gray is living in some kind of parallel universe if she can’t see that what she has written is offensive to queer people who are being required to register their same sex relationship with Centrelink.
The Rudd Government, through Centrelink, will treat us as married while not allowing us to get married should we want to. This is an appalling double standard on the part of the Government and of people in our ‘community’ who are celebrating what is, in reality, merely a partial victory for GLBTIQ rights.
Finally, the ‘knot’ that is tied is not intended to be, but generally turns out to be a slip-knot.

Across Australia gays and lesbians are dreading an impending centrelink nightmare that will plunge us into poverty and desperation.

It is an offensive insult to rub our noses in bridal crap and self indulgent excessive spending at a time like this.

I suggest a registry office and a big fat donation to the Food Bank.

Stimulate that way, it gets food into poor people’s mouths. What will it take to wake up those from the big end of gay town – this is disgraceful and insensitive.

Class is alive and thriving in gaytown, and those of us who think marriage is based on human property much like slavery need to come out and say so.

Being married will not help to eradicate discrimination it’s just Howard’s deliberate trick to divert us to a conservative agenda.

And didn’t he suck us all in so well. F*@K Marriage and F*@K the rich.
