Something old, something new, something borrowed, something PINK!!

Interesting article by Zoltan Kovacs in the Opinion section of last Saturday's West.. In an editorial about gay marriage, he talked about how far we've come (as well we should have) and how we're finally making progress in officially recognising (so-called) "same-sex couples"; and he pointed out the fact that you can't deny a whole section of society the right to be married; then turn around and set up a system where entitlements to do with superannuation, tax and social security can often be determined by marital status..
In addition to that ( extremely good by the way) point , he gently reminds the reader that one need not concern oneself about (gay) marriage, unless one is gay oneself, and indeed looking to be married!! .. Otherwise, mind your own beeswax because it doesn't affect you!!!
There's just one commandment that I like to live by .."Thou shalt mind thy own business".. Never you mind what the people next door are doing.. As long as it's not encroaching upon your life in any way, then it's not a problem is it?? And as for the debate over whether the word "marriage" should apply to 'same-sex' unions, WHO CARES!!!!!!
Call it 'a marriage', call it a 'union' , you can call it ' do you wanna go round with me' for all I care.. It doesn’t matter WHAT we call it, as long as we can all DO it..
Just remember .. Sticks and Stones can break my bones, but gay marriage will never hurt me....
Do you agree? Tell Lisa what you think.

Maureen, if you read correctly you'd see that I was actually sticking up for you?... Gracie thought you might have been a homophobe and I was suggesting that you were in fact fed up with what reporters are reporting on...
Is that enough explanation?

Johnno and Gracie
still waiting for your explanation!!! Or don't you know what a homophobe really is.

REPLY TO JOHNNO AND GRACIE
"PLEASE EXPLAIN"

You can't help who you fall in love with. If that person happens to be the "same sex" as you, then so be it....I agree with Abby...live and let live....

Live and let live, if we all lived by that saying, this world would be much better off.

c'mon people. you're all missing the point. yeah, there is some serious stuff going down at the moment but you need to talk about other stuff as well. Gay marriage is back in the news and nothing has been done to sort it. Surely your sexual orientation shouldn't hinder your desire to commit to someone for life?

don't know if Maureen's being a homophobe, probably just frustrated that there are more important things for the reporters to worry about
Posted by Johnno Monday 13 October, 2008 07:34 AM
Wow Maureen, shouting and all, what's the matter? maybe your a homophobe

FOR GOODNESS SAKE ISN'T THERE ENOUGH CRAP GOING ON IN THE WORLD TODAY THAT WE HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT WHAT SOME STUPID REPORTER WROTE .
EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW NOT TO BELIEVE WHAT IS WRITTEN IN THE PAPERS AS THEY SENSATIONALIZE EVERYTHING , AND CAUSE THINGS TO BE MORE OF A PROBLEM THAN WHAT IS REALLY HAPPENING.
JUST LET PEOPLE GET ON WITH THEIR OWN LIVES AND LEAVE THEM ALONE.

Yes... finally, I wish the media would just leave people alone and mind their own business. Who cares if they're gay or straight!!!
