Some of it probably stems from respecting older generations, parents, grandparents etc opinions or just respect in general even if their opinions are from a different era of innocence and ignorance.
Much like parts of Asia, the respect of parents isn't always a bad thing.
The opposite we see playing out here, where certain kidds must've been raised under a rock or by terrible parents and carry a massive chip and disrespect through life.

Its not debateable. Every recent poll has put support at close to 70%.

Yes would win in a landslide. We've been over this countless times as to why Labor/Greens oppose a plebiscite, nothing to do with your fantasy about SSM being knocked back.
Labor will simply legislate for it when next in government. No need for a plebiscite unless its a referendum to change the Constitution.

Well the parents accept the child for who he is or they run the risk of losing a child through their own stupidity, which is not a good look to say the least.
Rubbish, it would easily pass because the majority of people either support it or don't care at all and just want it over with. The ALP and Greens oppose the plebiscite because they don't really care about the issue, they just want the credit for introducing it.
She hasn't called for any violence, she has just expressed an opinion. The Left needs to accept that people have free will and are allowed not to mindlessly follow their view.

Nobody has said she can't express her point of view. But others are free to point out her opinion is bigoted.
They certainly can but you can't punish someone by removing her name from a venue for expressing an opinion.

Why not.
Try 40+ years she has been sprouting stuff, she can talk in "voices".
Margaret Court is a champion tennis player, Don Bradman was a champion cricketer, but both had off field views & actions that clouded their achievements. They are still sports champions.
You can't impregnate a turd, son. What you have instead is an abuse of adoption.
Now back to the topic - I would vote yes to gay marriage but I don't see why a mental breakdown is required if Court does not wish to support a company which has a policy ahe disagrees with.

good on her for having her opinion
but it's a shame her opinion goes against the grain of the law. speaking of which, out marriage laws go against the grain of our laws.
Yep, his politics + business ethics were questionable, but at no time did anyone seriously suggest removing his name from anything.
I'm waiting to see if she boycotts 7 media, I mean, isn't their CEO ? being accused of being involved in dubious extra marital & sniffing activities.
Court's comments were made in the letters to the editor section of a 7 media publication.
We are a democracy, she is allowed to make a comment.
I didn't say she had RR. Being gay is a completely natural occurrence in our species, I don't know why people get so fascinated and offended by what consenting sound of mind adults do with and to each others bodies.
She is certainly entitled to her opinion although when she put it out in the public arena she has to accept feedback/reaction to that opinion, I am not wound up by it, I am just putting my opinion out there.
I believe gay marriage should be legal I can't understand how anyone could care what others do, but I can't understand how the general public can be so up in arms over a lady supports the current australian law?
How dare she doesn't want gay marriage? Well guess what neither does you government. It's illegal?

Its actually a very interesting question.
Im not entirely sure the result would be so clear cut.
Lets take her name off the court for being against something that is currently against the law? I honestly dont understand.
How dare she have the same view as the law of Australia.
She's a disgusting religious bigot,no surprises here really!
