Erm, the "lets give people rights and freedoms" briagde has actually enabled rights rather than taken them away. That saying was attributed to Hitler's Germany, but considering we are giving freedom to people, I can't see how the analogy holds.

Unless of course, you then live in fear that those who support gay marriage will then start to throw the likes of kevincat in a gulag. If you believe this, the one thing you need is a tinfoil hat. People screamed when people gave blacks the right to vote and be not discriminated against. The world didn't cave in and neither did the west become a dictatorship.

Pfft, why would I of all people be supporting the crazies?
They may well be crazies but who could possibly deny them the right to multiple spouses?

Clearly the govt should not act as a moral arbiter with respect to marriage.

Or as per ethnic and gender specific discrimination, is discrimination ok in certain circumstances that the ABC deems fit?
