It is bad enough that we have the Annual Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras in Sydney but many people tolerate the celebration as it caters to tourism, a good source of revenue for the government. What I cannot accept is gay marriage. Last month, Labor’s Bill Shorten introduced a bill that intends to make legitimate the relationship between two men or between two women. To me it is no different from making legal sodomy which is the very reason why God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah. I will not bother to discuss lesbianism. Suffice it to say that it will enhance the production and sale of sex toys among homosexuals.
Over the past several weeks, I have been sent email messages by Tanya Plibersek, Member of Parliament for Sydney and by no less than the head of the Labor Party Bill Shorten. Both asked me to support Marriage Equality.
In both instances, I responded in the negative. It is not that I support the Liberal Party. I have been an active critic of Joe Hockey’s budget and Tony Abbott’s apparent racist’s attitude toward Asians.
Bill Shorten’s proposal appears to be politically motivated. He seems to be wooing the gay and lesbian voters for the next election. But wait, according to a 2011 survey, there is a very small percentage of same-sex couples in Australia. I don’t think the numbers have increased significantly over the past 4 years. So why bother?
• 1.2% of Australians identify as gay or lesbian
• 1.6% of men in Australia identify as gay, 0.9% identify as bisexual
• 0.8% of women identify as lesbian, 1.4% identify as bisexual
• 97.9% of Victorians aged 12-24 identify as heterosexual
• Same-sex couples represented about 1% of all couples in Australia

I know some Filipinos who are either gay or lesbians. Many are active in the community. They are homosexuals, bisexuals or are attracted by the same sex and some might even be transgenders. But that is their private life and I don’t give a s**t if they choose to live under one roof as a couple.
They cannot fulfil God’s intention to “increase and multiply” for they cannot procreate using sex toys. That’s a bizarre interpretation of love. I call it lust. The most they can do is adopt someone else’s child because they cannot produce an offspring.
The traditional meaning of marriage is the union between a man and a woman. Every child needs the love and guidance of a mother and a father. The so-called “marriage equality” cannot provide the proper kind of environment that children deserve.
