Abbott ha seemingly put his party under relatively tight discipline in towing the part line.<br /><br />But this article helps give Warren Entsch an authentic voice. I saw a report of an interview with him in the Age this morning and thought he sounded very genuine.<br /><br />I agree with Entsch that marriage equality should not the main issue for the LGBTI community. Australia already has equal rights in force through other legislation. And I doubt that in this generation marriage equality will change the image of gay people in some sections of the community.<br /><br />Generally speaking, gay people in Australia face far less discrimination than many others but I think that transgender people still have a really hard time of it.Still thinkinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02357746950181786500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1976905467414164236.post-76213775200750292922012-09-26T22:12:30.392+10:002012-09-26T22:12:30.392+10:00Kate, thanks for these interviews - I value the wo...Kate, thanks for these interviews - I value the work that you are doing in teasing out the more complex thoughts of our Parliamentarians.<br /><br />I don't agree with Entsch on civil unions, but I was so interested to hear about his relationship with the LGBTQI community.<br /><br />Well done and look forward to hearing more from you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1976905467414164236.post-51586722643363206032012-05-03T21:32:48.884+10:002012-05-03T21:32:48.884+10:00a purely semantic point - "outted" or &q...a purely semantic point - "outted" or "outed"? or do you have to put it in inverted commas in any case?Jacobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05297173296687658117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1976905467414164236.post-73600077886116366332012-05-02T21:10:51.051+10:002012-05-02T21:10:51.051+10:00All public Tweets on Twitter are achived at the US...All public Tweets on Twitter are achived at the US Library of Congress.

There would be no mileage in any of the participants finding the approach or rebuff of a genuine LGBT "advance" on the part of either Ashby or Slipper legally "wrong" or "unpleasant" without raising issues of prejudice. I can't really see the case reaching open court unless something truly illegal on the statutes has occurred and it can be proven. Suddenly it looks to me like a diversion from the central concerns of the Federal goverment. Goodness knows whether someone wants this to be detrimental or enhancing to either side's position!Murfomurfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12975382358013125434noreply@blogger.com
