Australia...

Australia. Where the only things that matters to its citizens is whether or not a man who loves to slip his cock into another mans asshole is married to said man.

Somehow this is a cultural milestone...

Welcome to the anglo degenerate sphere with us, emu.

I'm more disappointed that our shit stain of a 'conservative' Prime Minister, Turnbull wanted to be the one to legalise same-sex marriage.

The amendment made to refuse a church to marry a gay couple was played perfectly, I can accept the bill now.

a) conforms to the doctrines, tenets or beliefs of the religion of the body; or

b) is necessary to avoid injury to the religious susceptibilities of adherents of that religion.

'So, for example, a same-sex couple could be refused the use of a church or church hall for their wedding ceremony, if that refusal meets the above conditions'.

It's because Turnbull turned the bull into his ass instead of his wife's cunt.

He was pretty smart in legalizing it, I got the feeling the Labor party would have had a higher chance of being elected with promises of gay marriage. Fuck I hope those socialist-fruitcakes don't get elected this coming election.

He's a massive sell-out cuck but I agree, from a strategic standpoint he did the smart thing.

What did you make of the religious freedom amendment?

I thought the amendments for churches, celebrants ect were voted down?

If we're talking in regards to not having to bow down to gays as a part of one's religious freedom. Then I think it's great, fuck anyone who tries to force their beliefs onto you.

Wait was it denied?

I heard Abbott yesterday talk about it, so no amendments were passed?

Haven't heard about that. Then again, I avoid TV, radio, and newspapers like the plague. 99% of it's just leftist and gynocentric bullshit.

Yep its out. Bake the fucken shitcake.

Read about it on news.communist.au a couple hours ago that it was shot down. I'll see if I can find it again.

Yeah you's are right, they shot it down saying there's no more need for 'delays'.

Well we're fucked.

Turnbull did it to rush it through to save himself. The irony is he will be ousted in the new year by bishop for muh revolution.

Tanya plebiscite will take out sharten.

Election of the wimminz next year.

Does this mean that a church which offers their venue for weddings with an external celebrant will be forced to allow gay couples to marry there, because the only pre-existing protection is for religious celebrants to turn down any couple on religious grounds and everything else was turned down?

If it didn't pass then yes, they'll be sued for "discrimination". It's fucking bullshit, the Government should have no right telling people who they can get divorce raped by. Nor should the Government be able to force you to marry the idiots.

Yeah looks like the religious freedom to allow ministers to deny same-sex marriages because of religion was denied.

It was denied as the MP's said there's no need to make things more delayed, gay couples have been discriminated enough and 'who would want to get married in a place that doesn't really want to anyway'.

Australia yes

Ministers already have the right to deny marrying any couple on religious grounds, that doesn't change
I'm asking about using the church venue with a non-religious celebrant

these fucking people live for drama and attention. i would be amazed if they didn't target conservative churches just to get their fix prior to their wedding.

>Ministers already have the right to deny marrying any couple on religious grounds

Yeah except now that the law has changed without any amendments, a gay couple denied marriage by a minister can hypothetically scream 'Hate-crime' and the minister gets fired and put in prison.

And thanks to the left dick sucking media in this country the public will be in FULL support of the minister feeling the full extent of the law.
