Has hard I try I can’t recall an occasion when two men or for that matter two women knocked on my door and said they were recruiting for a local Gay Group. I do however recall dozens of earnest young men and women often with kids in tow from various Church groups. Some wanted to recruit me into churches where I would not be allowed a blood transfusion if I had cancer, others wanted to save me from from evil and the clutches of Catholicism. Some very earnest ones mostly from Utah wanted me to wear only white shirts black trousers, tight underpants and believe Jesus had made a second coming in, where else, the USA.

Had two gay men popped round and knocked on my door I would have asked them in which is something I have never done for that other mob, more tea vicar?

My understanding is the law doesn’t care about two 16 year olds having sex… but they do care about a 31 year old sleeping with a 16 year old.

Great article… agree with you.

Well, yes Craig, thats my point. We are fighting for the lowering of age of consent so that it is equal to that of Heterosexuals.

I was shocked to find that my ex technically molested me on schoolies!

I believe we are (kinda passively) fighting to have the age of consent reduced in Queensland.

Yes, sadly it is the Christians and religious types who, you’re right.. have their own conscription methods. We do less recruiting… preferring to focus on normalising the stigma attached to being gay for gay people mostly.

The majority of people have little idea what we have to fight for in order to normalise their ignorance.

I want to be less harsh on Christians though; centuries of ‘liberation’ have left them that way…

I strongly dislike your articles, however this time I agree with you. I dont think anyone signs up too be gay, nor do I feel they choose to brand themself as “Gay” either.

Im sure boys and girls all over Australia could have saved themselves from a lot of grief, going through schooling etc… I don’t think anyone willingly decides to turn gay because someone is telling them to wave a rainbow flag at Mardi Gras….
