Australia's Gay marriage Opposition Airs Crazy Ads i.e. Boys will Turn to Girls
 |
| A Father and his four sons. Can you tell which one or which ones are gay? There is at least ONE gay guy in this family picture. |
If a crazy lie is the best the Australian anti same sex marriage opposition can do to derail gay marriage, then just like in the US we gay human rights have won.
All Australian have to do is looked at 20 (and counting) nations that have gay marriage and see how many boys have been turned into girls or how many parents have lost their kids. If the voting populace of Australia buys those lies then Australia still 50 years in the past. Can any Australian remember how it was there 50 years ago?
The opposition to Gay rights, human rights can not say the truth because people won't buy it. The way crazy politicians, get into office, and crazy laws get enacted or human rights are refused is because of lies, always 100%. The hope that people be lazy or dumb and cannot read medical books or go to the computer and check things which are on neutral sites to see verify what is being said on ads is what people paying for those ads hope for. That is why ads are there to make you think and check! Not to believe. If you think about it any ad has 50% of being true and 50% of being untrue. Those are not betting numbers, which means you have to check but I'll tell you something if commercial sounds crazy like 'boys turning into girls' or that human rights put humans against each other are not true. Human rights are for everyone except those that want to abuse other humans.
The Coalition for Marriage's debut TV ad, which aired on commercial networks on Tuesday night, links marriage equality to sex education at schools.
It claims that in countries which have legalized same-sex marriage, "parents have lost their rights to choose", and features an unidentified woman who says her son was told, "he could wear a dress" to school.
The ad, which has been uploaded to YouTube and was authorized by Sophie York of the Marriage Alliance, does not directly address the question of whether same-sex couples should be able to marry.
But it features another unidentified woman who claims: "When same-sex marriage passes as law overseas, this type of [school] program becomes widespread and compulsory." Mr Shorten, who opposed the postal survey and its plebiscite predecessor, told Fairfax Media the ad was "offensive and hurtful to LGBTI Australians and their families".
"This is exactly what was predicted when Malcolm Turnbull decided to waste $122 million on a postal survey. He gave the green light to this rubbish," Mr Shorten said.
"This is not freedom of speech. This is freedom to hurt. I just want to tell LGBTI families that they are not on their own. Most people know this is total rubbish."
The Labor leader nonetheless encouraged Australians to participate in the postal survey and promised to "campaign hard" for a "yes" vote.
The ad also drew criticism from the executive director of the Equality Campaign, Tiernan Brady, who labelled it "disgraceful and dishonest".
"The people behind this ad know that the Australian people are for allowing all Australians the right to marry, so they have resorted to misleading people, to pretend this is about something else," he told Fairfax Media.
"Sadly, over the next few weeks, the Australian people will get used to this daily dose of red-herrings and lies, served up by a bucketful of cash. As the 'no' side seek to divide Australians, we will continue to seek to unite them."
The Coalition for Marriage said the women featured in the advertisement were not actors but "real mums who are bravely speaking out about their concerns".
It has since emerged that at least one of the mothers in the ad worked for Coalition MPs and Family First senator Steve Fielding.
In a statement, Ms. York said parents across Australia "are speaking to each other about the impacts of radical LGBTIQ sex and gender education programs".
She said parents had "a right to know how a change in the marriage law will affect what their kids are taught at school" because "the education departments won't tell them".
On the ABC's Q&A on Monday night, Attorney-General George Brandis – a supporter of same-sex marriage – said any bill introduced under the Coalition would contain "very strong protections" for religious freedom.
But he warned against obfuscation of the issue by opponents of same-sex marriage.
"Let us remember what this plebiscite is about. It is about one question and one question only: should the law be changed to allow same-sex couples to marry," Senator Brandis said.
"That's it, that is the only question the Australian people are being asked to decide."
Coalition for Marriage spokeswoman Monica Doumit said she was unsurprised by Labor's response to the ad because the party wished to "punish and silence those who disagree" with its position on same-sex marriage.
