    ^^^ That story doesn't seem to have had quite the galvanizing effect its wayward authors expected:

    Original article - http://citynews.com.au/2015/gay-law-change-may-force-us-to-divorce/ ("waaah, my marriage is being 'redefined'")

    A woman responds - http://www.mamamia.com.au/lifestyle/couple-divorce-gay-marriage/ ("Dude, are you on crack?")

    The Jensens have been hailed as heroes by the Christian community, but as borderline simpletons by anyone with even the remotest concept of empathy for people who were born homosexual.

    Canberra resident Simon Williams told us, “Look, they’re as entitled to their opinion as anyone, but if they’re going to stop doing things just because gay people are allowed to do it, how about they start with ‘breathing’?”

    Meanwhile, stateside, Glen Beck, the idiot's Bill O'Reilly, claims he has a network of at least 10,000 religious fundamentalists ready to die opposing gay rights.

    “‘The number in the Black Robe Regiment is about 70,000 now,’ Beck told his listeners. ‘The number that I think will walk through a wall of fire, you know, and possible death, is anywhere between 17,000 and 10,000. That is an extraordinary number of people that are willing to lay it all down on the table and willing to go to jail or go to death because they serve God and not man.”

    10,000 christians thinking they'll get to heaven a bit faster is not at all impressive.

    Fingal County Council are certainly not competent to be making decisions about the most important piece of infrastructure on the island. They need to stick to badly designed cycle lanes and deciding on whether Mrs Murphy can have her kitchen extension.

    We did say it wasn't about children (nice gay way of saying we have seen your children and ick... no thanks!).

    Over and over and over again we said 'nooooo... we don't want your children... we mean it... really..!' but ye all had to listen to Quinny so complain to him.

    Gaydopted.

    Gaydopted.

    "Son, your mother and I think it's time to tell you about the facts of life. You're old enough now to know that the world can be a scary and dangerous place at times. There's men out there son who might pretend to like you and tell you stories of walking tours of the hill villages of Andalusia, the joys of inner city loft living and the thrill of Sunday brunch in an idiosyncratic cat cafe.

    This might sound wonderful my boy but they're trying to lull you into a false sense of security before gay adopting you. The courts would force us to hand you over to these men so that they can change your surname to theirs and make you get liposuction to fit into the skinniest of jeans. Being raised by two men as well will mean that your immortal soul will be forever stained and Jesus won't want you in Heaven when you die. Probably of AIDS.

    Yes, I know Darren was gay adopted and looks like he's having a great time but, you should know that his birth parents voted for Same Sex Marriage so it was always on the cards that they'd hand him over to the first gay couple who knocked on their door.

    What can you do? Well, the courts and the politicians are of no use so I suggest you stay in your room. We'll lock the door from the outside and feed you through a flap at the bottom. It's the only way to be safe."

    Well, you couldn't. But as a result of the world-wide gay conspiracy trying to facilitate the Gay Agenda (TM) you now can. I think forced gaydoption was something like number 7 on the Gay Agenda (TM), I would have to check.

    Meanwhile in Australia, some idiot has said he and his wife of 10 years, will divorce if Gay marriage is put though.

    Divorce...remind me again of the stance the church had on this a few years ago?

    Here's a letter a gay dad wrote in response.
    Dear Mr. and Mrs. Jensen,

    I was sad to hear of your decision to divorce should same sex marriage become legal in Australia. It is indeed distressing that you would throw something away so cavalierly that others have worked so hard to try to achieve.

    I kind of get it. You had something that you felt held you above others, and made you feel special and a bit elite. That really was not the case. Here in the US they allow convicted murderers to marry from prison, even ones who have slaughtered their families like the Menendez brothers. Those who are allowed to marry are not really as holy or special as you seem to regard. In any case, they do seem to be ranked, in your opinion, above the people you don’t want to marry — LGBT people.

    ~~

    You are “quitting” not because of anything having to do with your own marriage or family, but because another family might be given the opportunity for security, honor and growth. Your rationale is not sound, it is not compassionate, nor would anyone on any side of it grow better because of it. Your proposed actions are, in a word … childish.

    LGBT couples are not coming together in marriage to spite you. They have no intention of affecting your marriage in any way. They have fought hard for this right, because it is something of great value in their own lives.

    Last week, I officiated at the wedding of two beautiful men. The marriage’s meaning was clear to all when the first groom emerged from the wings, being walked down the aisle with his mother. His eyes were brimming with tears. It was evident that this moment was a pinnacle in his life, he was transforming into a further definition of himself and his identity as part of a family.

    Whether that family is just he and his spouse, or whether kids will be added, I don’t know. It is none of my business.

    Nor is it any of yours.

    ~~

    If you choose to divorce because others might gain what you have valued in your life, you are not making a statement about marriage. You are not making a statement about love. You are not making a statement about family. You are making a statement about your own damaged egos.

    And it is time to grow up.

    Ouch.

    I see the gay agenda is proceeding quite nicely.

    Here's the gay pods being distributed throughout the country, ready to populate the place with gays.

    It certainly reads like he went out of his way to rewrite history. Not far off satire at all ;)
