Well clearly, I think we should all be embarrassed just to be alive and thinking of this, and that humanity is a joke.
But I do think about how Australian politics has been blessedly free of party fights about abortion, capital punishment, and gay marriage, and in that sense I think it is a pointless diversion.
For example (maybe not a good one), how we say the Lords Prayer (Our Father vs Our Mother) is not nearly so important as equal pay for equal work.) I'm not suggesting that anyone disagrees with this.
The world has very real problems.
But you know, hell, really, of course I accept that gay people want and deserve to be equal. I just think the world imposes limitations. Big ones.
