Can we have this anti gay group MassResistance banned from ever entering Australia again? They are banned within Canada, Ireland, the UK and several other European Nations too.

Quoting:
“Since homosexual marriage became ‘legal’ the rates of HIV have gone up considerably “

Malarkey! The effect is exactly the opposite. Marriage actually reduces the infection rate.

The makes sense as stable relationships reduce the number of sexual partners. That applies to heterosexual relationships as well, by the way.

“skyrocketing homosexual domestic violence.”

No matter how many times a lie is repeated it will always be a lie.

“just another kind of family, like their own parents,”

Sounds about right to me. Why should some loving families be treated differently from others? Heterosexual and homosexual families are equal in every way except in the minds of Mass Resistance

“teachers to prominently display photos of their same-sex ‘spouses’

What is wrong with displaying a photo of the one you love?

“The schools are already moving on to normalize transgender people,”

Guess what? We trans people exist. We always have. And always will. Letting children know that some people are different reduces bullying and violence. And knowing that will help young people who are struggling with their own gender identity.
