Gays Against ?Gay Marriage? (The Remix) - Anglican Mainstream

October 1st, 2012 Posted in Gay Marriage | Comments Off

Ben-Peter Terpstra, The Menzies House

To paraphrase Ann Coulter: Our (right-wing) gays are smarter and more stylish than their (left-wing) gays. Indeed, we had more proof of this last week when the openly gay Liberal Senator Dean Smith helped to defeat same-sex marriage.

Or as he stressed: ?By not agreeing to same sex marriage, I?m not choosing to endorse discrimination against my fellow gay and lesbian Australians, or to be disrespectful to their domestic relationships? instead for me, it?s an honest acknowledgement of the special and unique characteristics of the union described as marriage.?

I think he was wearing Armani. But of more historical interest, Labor?s patronising bill was defeated in the House of Representatives 98 votes to 42.

Perhaps defending traditional marriage is inevitable. As, for example, Doug Mainwaring wrote in The Washington Post, ?Same-sex relationships are different from heterosexual relationships, and gay men and lesbians need to accept that and design their own tradition.?

The self-identified homosexual writer is a co-founder of the National Capital Tea Party Patriots and not one for beating around the bush. Earlier he wrote, ?Let?s face it: We should not attempt to force into an old construct something that was never meant for same-sex partnerships? (a position shared by many Australian conservatives).

As well, right-of-center gays in the U.K. are challenging their Politically Correct prime minister, David Cameron. Or as the Mail Online writer Andrew Pierce wonders: ?Well, Mr Cameron, I am a Conservative and a homosexual, and I oppose gay marriage. Am I a bigot? And what about Alan Duncan, the first Conservative MP to come out as gay? Mr Duncan, the International Aid Minister who is in a civil partnership, is implacably opposed to gay marriage. So is Dr David Starkey, the celebrated historian, who is openly gay.?
