SSM Plebiscite

[bignic]

I think you will find the issue for the LGBT mob is not nomenclature, but rather equal rights and choice. Gay couples have no choice, and I'm sure not all of them wish to marry. Heterosexual couples are at least able to choose one or the other.  And heterosexual de facto couples do not have the same rights as heterosexual married couples.

No doubt there will be gays out there who will vote no. No group, once it reaches a certain critical mass, will ever have 100% consistency in the opinions of its constituents.

No comment from me on the rest of your post.

You are wrong on all counts, Paul. I suggest you consult a partner in a law firm. One of my kids is.

They will tell you that De facto and gay couples have all the same rights as married hetero couples. The only real difficulty faced by a gay couple, is in adopting a child. As far as making medical decisions is concerned, another furfy brought up by the gay lobby, as long as one of the partners signs a medical power of attorney, just like some heterosexual couples who are not married have to do, they have the same rights as married couples. And even with married couples, the hubby may not want the missus to make medical decisions on his behalf so he can do the same and sign an enduring medical power of attorney, authorizing someone else to make the decisions.

People need to check the ACTUAL law rather than listen to the bullcr@p.  This no equal rights stuff is propaganda and untrue. By the way, living together for 6 months is enough for one partner, to make a claim on the other. Used to be 12 months.
