Bigot Point: "Marriage is about procreation."
Some bigots want to argue that marriage is about creating children and not about love.
This argument implies that marriage is currently about procreation and that marriage equality will change that. The thing is the current marriage laws in Australia are not about procreation at all, there is no fertility test before you are allowed to marry, there is no contract requiring the creation of children. Those saying this as an excuse to deny equal rights are lying and sowing discord.
Worse still they are spreading homophobia that leads to the kind of violence we experienced in the Orlando homophobic terror attacks. We all must stand up against these bigots that support such terrorism.
Even if you agree with these bigots, to hold these barbaric opinions, there is no valid reason we should be enforcing there discriminatory views in our laws.
Bigots arguing this are saying that they want to prevent marriage by those who do not want to or are incapable of producing children. One would assume that those who are "too old" to safely have children would be included in this ban.
Malcolm Turnbull has said Australia now has zero tolerance for homophobia, and yet there are still hate groups active today spreading this hate speech.
Please let your local government representatives and your churches know you stand against terrorism and homophobia.
Please support marriage equality.
