So those opposing gay marriage had a voice. Haven’t those in support of it had more than their share of speaking out? Have they not held their own rallies? Come on, a bit rich. The gay lobby has lost a lot of credibility by the general public for their ongoing twists and strange arguments. Only today the Australian newspaper printed an article by a religious group who found that “60 per cent of those surveyed, including 40 per cent of those who supported same-sex marriage…..”. However, Mr Greenwich was qouted on the marriage equality website as saying “The Ambrose Centre research found that up to 64% of Australians believe same-sex couples should be allowed to marry”. Now that’s a magic trick Mr Greenwich….turning 40% into 64% !!! Having an opinion in this country should be welcomed, but twisting quotes and figures demeans your argument.

ED: I’ve read the Ambrose Centre report and it states that 58 percent of Australians support same-sex couples being allowed to marry and 64 percent “if they value it highly”. The magic trick here is by the Ambrose Centre in trying to downplay that.
