Even if people are not in favour of homosexuality they would never postulate any statements that counter that as an illegitimate activity. It is exactly the same for abortion – politions are also ducking and weaving over this issue for the same reason. We would however ban puppies having their tails removed.

I will certainly be following up on this by writing to Ms Roxon and Mr Rudd. As you say, it’s about time to rouse a sleeping church. Very few priests are brave enough to speak up on these matters.

1. It is highly ironic for him to be talking about “censorship” when the event that precipitated this article is an excellent real-life example of muzzling a certain opinion regardless of facts. It cost a man his job that he was eminently qualified to do, whereas Rod is whining about not getting a post up on a website (when what he writes is probably dubious in credibility, if what he has written before is any guide). Please explain that one, Rod.

2. I don’t “follow” Bill, neither does anybody else here, as far as I can tell. I count myself first and foremost a follower of Jesus, and also want to be known as a lover of truth, even when it’s not easy for me to hear. (How about you, Rod? What happens when you hear something that challenges your thinking and can’t be easily dismissed?) As Bill declares himself also to be a follower of Jesus and concerned about the proclamation of truth we have something in common. And given the general lack of this kind of perspective in wider society, it’s fair enough for me to gravitate towards a website like this.

I observe an ongoing pattern of behaviour from various dissenting posters here where they engage in guerilla tactics – drive-by postings, as it were. I seem to remember some months ago I asked Rod a question which he never answered – something along the lines of whether he would he be OK with fining or jailing or restricting the activities of individuals or organizations that do not tow the line of the politically correct idea that homosexuality is genetic in causation? I considered your non-answer informative, Rod, btw. So how about tackling that now and the other questions above?

I’m not holding my breath. Obviously the shock of having to give their real name (and on the internet too – how odd!) and support their ideas with evidence and without abuse is too much to ask for some.

In any case, Bill doesn’t need followers, even declaring myself a ‘fan’ might not be good for his ego…

You need to call your friend’s bluff. I have been documenting the tactics of the pink mafia for years now. For starters, have him look at the hundred-plus articles I have in my ‘Homosexuality’ section. Many of them document the rise in the number of people losing jobs, being sent to jail, being fined, etc, for daring to speak the truth about homosexuality. Indeed, whole books have now been written on all this. Thus I am afraid your friend is either ignorant, uniformed, or being deliberately deceptive.

He also says: “The idea that any westernized country is going to start imposing gestapo-like tactics on those who speak out against homosexuality is just ludicrous. It’s a scare tactic designed to get you riled up, Duane….I hope you’re not buying it.”

Any info you can help with is appreciated… Ta

These immoral lobby groups are very organised and they seem to have quietly and subversively gained control of our nations political and media sectors.

Things may well get worse before they get better, but they will never get better if we as Christians remain in our slumber, having abdicated the dominion required of us by God, to those who are anti-God.
