Not at all Psych Joe.

The argument about not allowing same sex marriage is that it denies a section of the community a human right. That exclusion is a decision that someone else has made to deny...

This is your opinion, which you have a right to state, however you are wrong. I have clearly stated perviously why Joyce is quite entitled to do what he is doing. If you can state why my view is...

As stated above, a plebiscite is not a binding 'vote'. The Parliament is not bound by the outcome. If there is a vote to change the Marriage Act, it will be held in Parliament as a part of the normal...
