There isn't actually an article to accompany this, which is actually one of the reasons I am posting about it. On Monday night on a popular national Q&A type program on the national broadcaster there was a discussion about the impending legalisation of gay marriage here in Australia. Politicians from both sides of the divide stated that the State isn't interested in forcing religious organisations to marry gays if it goes against their (the churches) religious beliefs. Contrast this to the news we often hear out of the US where the State is essentially forcing cake makers etc to have to do things against their religious beliefs. The interesting thing was that there weren't any raised eyebrows about this at all. It's apparently perfectly reasonable in our fairly atheistic country to not give a shit about discrimination via fairy tale. And to tell the truth, I initially didn't give much of a shit about this, as I figured - What gays are going to want to get married by a bigoted organisation? But I've since found out that there are a not insignificant number of religious gays. Some of which want to have a religious wedding. Fuck knows why they have anything to do with religion, but that's their decision. Regarding non-religious organisations, I"m not sure what the law is in regards to refusing service here in Australia. I'd assume it is illegal to refuse service to gays on religious grounds. Strange if so, as that would be a clear case of the State forcing organisations (and people) to do things against their religious beliefs.

Who wantys gays to marry? after that they'll have the trouble of divorcing.

i just read a piece that told me black people can't be racist to the majority (think she means white race {even though there are more of the population that identifies as asian }) because they are a superior species.
It cheered me up after my bad morning-early afternoon.

[Svartalf]

uh, wtf? blacks certainly can be racist, so can arabs... when I get called a "gaul" or "pale face", that's racism.

[Achtland]

i think the fact that black people are a different species from the mouth of a black person (she calls her self one) is what me chuckle.
also OF COURSE they can be racist everyone can
