Australia is now falling years behind the rest of the world as far as Same-Sex marriage goes, Australia Government needs to keep this country moving forwards.
Almost day by day country after country are legalises Same-Sex marriages, Australia is the ONLY western country not to at least give Same-sex couples a Civil Union.
Our Government is so centred on pleasing the churches that nothing is getting done about these issues.
The world's first country to grant Same-Sex civil unions was Denmark amazingly back in 1989, 20 years ago that's incredible!!!
The first nation to legalise Same-Sex marriages was The Netherlands back in 2001, back had Same-Sex civil unions since 1998.
Even New Zealand introduced Same-Sex civil unions back in 2004, Australia is so far behind it's a joke!
I don't understand how the Australian Government, can keep blocking steps towards equality & deny Australia from keeping up the rest of the world.
The ACT (Australian Capital Territory) recently tried to legalise Same-Sex civil unions for the forth time, this time the Federal Government resisted pulling the plug on the changes. However they want the laws to be amended to not make it registered with births, deaths and marriages registry, wants all legal meaning removed to make it nothing like a marriage this is just plain out right homophobia from the government.
The Australian Christian Lobby Group, are having a part to play in stopping the Marriage Equality Bill. Which was submitted by the Greens Party, the ONLY Australian Federal Party to stand up for Gay & Lesbians.
The Australian Liberal Party, have always had a very old fashioned view on this issue. Choosing to use God & the Bible "marriage is only between one man & one women to the exclusion of all others"
Well that view is fast becoming a thing of the past, with the world understanding that Same-Sex couples are NO different. And deserve the same rights and respect as everyone else.
But the bible and church groups have been changing bits and pieces to suit current trends, so this is NO different but besides that Civil Unions are meant to be the NON church version for people who can't or don't want to get married.
So thats why I can't understand why the Australian Government wont let us have Civil Unions, let the church keep there word "marriage" JUST GIVE US CIVIL UNIONS
Rudd what are you so scared of????? STOP BEING HOMOPHOBIC!!!!! STOP BEING A COWARD!!!!!!
