I have a problem, and I hope that MCV will issue a correction. The problem is this line: "Melbourne-based GLBTI activist Rod Swift believes marriage should only be reserved for two people in a consensual relationship."
Actually, I never said that. I said that marriage is generally a law that deals with relationships of pairs... and that people make a choice by consent to enter into a relationship... and that choice is currently restricted to members of opposite sexes -- which is the heart of the argument over the bill to allow members of the same sex that same choice.
Okay…
And, no, I don't believe in throwing people under the bus for an argument. I am right in criticising opponents of same-sex marriage for using 'slippery slope' arguments to try and oppose marriage equality.
Then please, Mr. Swift, respond to the bigots with “Every adult should have the right to love, sex, and marriage with any consenting adults.” Force them to defend their bigotry… because they can’t, and thus it will be exposed.

To prevent spam, comments will have to be approved, so your comment may not appear for several hours. Feedback is welcome, including disagreement. I only delete/reject/mark as spam: spam, vulgar or hateful attacks, repeated spouting of bigotry from the same person that does not add to the discussion, and the like. I will not reject comments based on disagreement, but if you don't think consenting adults should be free to love each other, then I do not consent to have you repeatedly spout hate on my blog without adding anything to the discourse.
If you want to write to me privately, then either contact me on Facebook, email me at fullmarriageequality at protonmail dot com, or tell me in your comment that you do NOT want it published. Otherwise, anything you write here is fair game to be used in a subsequent entry. If you want to be anonymous, that is fine.
IT IS OK TO TALK ABOUT SEX IN YOUR COMMENTS, BUT PLEASE CHOOSE YOUR WORDS CAREFULLY AS I WANT THIS BLOG TO BE AS "SAFE FOR WORK" AS POSSIBLE. If your comment includes graphic descriptions of activity involving minors, it's not going to get published.
