Aug. 5th, 2003 07:14 pm*hissssss* Usually, I LIKE being Australian. Usually, I think Australia is cool. I can even deal with John Howard being priminster, as I have no choice, and even our "special relationship" with the Bush regime. And yes, I mean regime.
However.
Words cannot express how much I hate the Australian government right now, not to mention my own parents. "Oh, gay marriage is BAD! It undermines a sacred institution! They shouldn't marry because they can't have children!"
What about barren couples?
"IVF!"
People who don't WANT children?
"There's always a CHANCE they'll have children."
Why can't gay couples adopt?
"Oh, that's wrong. Poor child."
FOR GOD'S FUCKING SAKE! I HATE FUCKING HUMANITY. I begin to suspect that the Dutch may quite possibly be a more understanding people, as much as the concept horrifies me. I HATE australia, I HATE john howard, I HATE my parents and I FUCKING HATE THE CATHOLIC CHURCH. *kicks wall*

There is absolutely nothing wrong with same-sex marriages. There is nothing wrong with being in love, no matter what. Love will always win.
This is another reason why Johnnie's gonna get his puny arse kicked in the next election...
And your reasoning for this is completely logical. Johnnie was dumped by Bushy. As much as I think that is EXTREME slashing... It is soooooooo true...
*hugs* I'll always love yah Siorina :3 We can take over the Pineapple Plantation, hold our Bishounen Ranch AND allow whatever kind of marriages and however many marriage ANYONE wants!!! *huggles+kisus* It'll all be right :)
