All inclusive, or bland?

2013/04/07 | Filed under: Equal Rights, Life, Morality

In the TV series, “Community“, the local community college, Greendale, tries to come up with the perfect mascot. However, attempting to be all-inclusive, and in no way favourable towards any one ethnicity or gender, they create the simultaneously bland and creepy “Greendale Human”. To me, this is a pertinent response …

I hope my face isn't hurting your boot

2012/06/19 | Filed under: Equal Rights, Life, Morality

There is, I think, nothing quite as sad in the GBLTI community, as a homosexual who believes in keeping the status quo and insists we have “enough” rights. Over the last few days I’ve been seeing more friends post messages on Facebook to the extent of: If you don’t support …

A fair go for everyone!

2011/11/17 | Filed under: Equal Rights, Morality, Politics

Australia, where we believe in a fair go for everyone! Well, unless you want to get married to someone of the same sex. Australia, where we believe in a fair go for all heterosexuals! (GLBTI are second classers.) Well, unless you’re an indigenous Australian under the auspice of the Northern …

Labor Right says "Screw representation"

2011/07/28 | Filed under: Equal Rights, Life, Politics

In The Age: Labor’s Right slams gay reform, the right leaning faction of the Labor party finally reveals that it doesn’t really care about representing the people, just some people – presumably the people who agree with it. Regarding the discussions within Labor about changing its official stance towards same-sex marriage: …

The immoral discrimination litmus test

2011/02/15 | Filed under: Equal Rights, Life, Politics

Conservative religious groups make much ado about the “right to religious freedom”, and specifically the subsequent demand that they be allowed to avoid prosecution from discrimination on the basis of those beliefs. This, for the most part, is bovine fecal matter, since for the most part it’s actually about demanding …

No Pope Ratzinger, you're wrong

2011/02/13 | Filed under: Equal Rights, Morality

In a moderately homophobic article, titled “Gay ‘marriages’ to be allowed in church“, the UK Telegraph discusses the impending protests of religious groups in the United Kingdom when proposed legislation allowing same-sex couples to marry in churches passes. The Telegraph goes on to say: Pope Benedict said same-sex marriage was …

Public opinion on same-sex marriage

2011/02/13 | Filed under: Equal Rights, Morality, Politics

Over at Crikey in December, @pollytics wrote yet another one of his fascinating summaries of polling information – this time on the topic of same-sex marriage. It’s a fantastic, in-depth analysis of the polls, and I’d highly recommend you have a good read of it. For those wanting the quick …

What's so scary about polygamy?

2011/02/07 | Filed under: Equal Rights, Life, Morality

According to the Sydney Star Observer, the Australian Christian Lobby (ACL) is getting its holy/frilly knickers in a twist over continued and growing support for equal marriage rights for same sex couples. The latest nuttiness, covered in “Christian Lobby ‘getting desperate’“, runs along these lines: ACL claims if marriage is …

Illogical arguments

2010/08/08 | Filed under: Equal Rights, Life, Morality

I’m sometimes amazed that illogical arguments can be made to justify nonsensical beliefs that discriminate against others while still keeping a straight face. Take the issue of same-sex couples adopting children. Now, in most of Australia same-sex couples can foster children, and in actual fact gays and lesbians who are …
