Never give in to the bastards.

Legislation should be bought in immediately to protect us from people like you.

Perhaps Chuck and co should be demanding same sex marriage!

I’ve been told of instances where the institution of marriage has been totally effective in initiating absence of sexual activity between couples.

I’m only sorry that you no longer see the institute of marriage as an effective measure for sexual exclusivity in couples.

Can I sell you the harbour bridge?

Given the very strong anecdotal evidence that online acting sites are widely used for heterosexual to hook up for sex, then, either the institution of marriage is no longer a commitment to sexual exclusivity for anyone, or it is every bit as likely to represent that commitment to exclusivity for a same sex couple as for a heterosexual couple.

If anything it is a solution to reduce the prevalence of STDs in the gay community.

Phone app link to gay syphilis epidemic

A new smartphone application is fanning a syphilis epidemic outbreak among Canterbury’s young gay men, a doctor says.

Christchurch Sexual Health Clinic senior clinician Heather Young said gay men would usually contract syphilis after meeting at venues such as clubs, saunas or brothels but this year there had been an increase in men meeting electronically.

“In 2011, sex-on-site venues were associated with 50 per cent of syphilis cases but in 2012 it is more commonly found after use of internet dating sites or the Grindr app,” she said.

Grindr is a free social networking app for gay men. The app uses GPS to notify members when there is another gay man nearby.

This is one of the reasons I oppose this legislation which really about normalising a homosexual lifestyle that they really do not want the general public to know about. There is no way this legislation will change the behaviour of many if any homosexuals.

The Rainbow Youth who promote this lifestyle do not tell the adolescents the true health risk of this lifestyle.

What’s the go with that then Paul? It’s not ‘our’ fault – obviously………………………………………..

You’re right Harriet, I don’t recall ever seeing figures that show ignorance by some causes’ suicide in others

On average someone in China kills themselves every 2 minutes, whats the go with that then?

2000 people kill themselves world wide every day, whats the go with that then?

.While there is a common perception that suicide rates are highest among the young, the elderly, in fact, have the highest suicide rates, whats the go with that then?

I’m off to have a bath and watch the test, whats the go with that then?

What’s the go with that then Paul?

I’d say that it shows that SF is the same as any other city.

Marriage has nothing to offer gays.

If that is the case, it has nothing to offer heterosexuals either.

None call for two straight guys……..gay guys or girls either.

Marriage has nothing to offer gays.

But Paul…..gays in the worlds most gay friendly city – San Francisco – kill themselves at the same rates as gays in most other western cities do.

What’s the go with that then Paul? It’s not ‘our’ fault – obviously.

It says a lot about the gay ‘lifestyle’ – if you could call it that.

I have worked in Queen Street off and on for 30 years and last walked up it last Saturday night with my daughter and much to both our astonishment we saw no one “sexed up”, we saw drunks and happy people and sad people and violent people but this sexing up part was lacking.

You just make shit up but you do make me laugh

Sorry reid

There is nothing on with Harriets comment except stuff that makes me grin – its rubbish like a Carry on movie- enjoyable but there’s nothing there

Most young gays would be forgiven for thinking this is a human wights issue, most of them don’t care about marriage it’s not on their minds but injustice is, perceived or real, most have no idea of the ramifications of what they plaintively demand, in precisely the same way most young women in the sixties had no idea of the ramifications of what they were asking for, either. There’s a lot going on in Harriet’s comment.

but even calling it an argument is pushing the boundaries of ordinary common sense.

An series of nonsensical statements don’t qualify as an argument
