The Gospel According to...

Argentina. Belgium. Canada. Iceland. The Netherlands. Norway. Portugal. Spain. South Africa. Sweden. As well as being a list of nations who could easily give Matthew Primus tips about how to put together a quality 22-man AFL team, these 10 nations also fully embrace marriage equality.

Lets talk about South Africa. South Africa still operated under some form of apartheid as recently as 1994, and Australia joined many other western-nations decrying the gross injustices and inequalities that resulted from it. However South Africa turned itself around, held democratic elections and now have a socially inclusive constitution that appears to be more solid than the desk Mike Rann nailed Michelle Chantelois on. Australia, on the other hand, have done bugger-all.

Now lets take a look at Penny Wong. It would be wrong of me to suggest that she's a woman and therefore not as capable as a man, because that would be sexist. It would also be wrong of me to suggest that because she has Asian heritage she is in anyway inferior to me, because that would be racist. But apparently it's fine for me to say that she's not capable of entering into a marriage. Why is this so?

Last week an anti-equality rally was held in Canberra. How embarrassing. Bob Katter allowed himself to be seen even more of a wanker when he stated the idea of same sex marriages "deserves to be laughed at and ridiculed". Well Bob, most people think the same about your hat you fucking moron!

Also addressing the 500 homophobes at the rally, was Rebecca Hagelin, an American 'conservative commentator' (read: redneck). She provided even more intelligent and thoughtful insight when she said there was "no greater evil" than those who proposed to legalise gay marriage. Has she never heard of Idi Amin, Anders Breivik or A Current Affair?


Don't get me wrong, here at ThanksGibbings I believe everyone has the right to an opinion, especially on divisive issues. But I am yet to hear a logical, well presented argument against marriage-equality that doesn't have it's foundations in the Bible.

So a few messages to our Party leaders:

Julia - Get your well-endowed arse off that fence you've been sitting on and do something!

Tony - Unless you're gonna whip them out at Mardi-Gras, put the budgiesmugglers away, put religion on hold for a second and apply pressure for a conscience vote. Then give me the mobile numbers of your daughters. They can't be yours surely!

Bob - Good work on forwarding the marriage-equality thing. But you're still a massive twat.

That is all.
