Australian Issue - Gay Marriage Debate

[ylop]

Hi. Thought you might be interested to know that Gay Marriage is a hot political topic in Australia at the moment. The issue was raised by the Greens party and has some, possibly even majority, community support. Prime Minister Julie Gillard is trying to avoid discussion on the topic as I think she is afraid of losing conservative voters. The idea is opposed by some elements of the socially-conservative Liberal Party; and various Christian groups (which are relatively weak - there is no cohesive 'Christian' voter group in Australia). My suggestion is that the issue will succeed, it is just a matter of time, with an estimate ranging from 1 to 5 years. When that happens, I hope it makes some Christians stop and think why they need government sanctioned 'marriage' at all? ylop

Even though I believe marriage is a covenant relationship between a man and woman I appreciate the fact that the gay agenda brings government sponsored marriage to the forefront of peoples minds and forces them to think about it.
