why exactly would you be against it if you lived there? you can't rant about the end of the heterosexual male as if gay marriage contributes to it.

There's really no downside whatsoever

(Unless you just get off on trolling parts of society for no real reason)

I was joking, I just don't care - except about how much time its taking up in government and the media, and that its just one step amongst many - they'll be agitating for something else next.

and why exactly does it bother you that certain groups agitate for equality and rights to do what the main are perfectly empowered already to do? I don't see where homosexuals are petitioning for special privileges.

Well, they're a protected class, not really equal. Lots of protected classes here in the states... being a white male or asian is becoming a bit Harrison Bergeron-like.

Why do you suddenly care about Asian people? You were calling them a plague only a few days ago.

Because its going much too far, and while gay marriage seems to be top of the political agenda there are important things which aren't being dealt with at all. We're close to the point there are quotas for women, next there'll be mandatory quotas for gays, funded IVF for gays etc.
Plus tax breaks for gays are a tax burden on me.

Centrelink doesn't deal with tax, nor tax breaks. They hand out support payments. And anyway a couple will get less total payments then 2 individuals as the cost of living is not linear with household occupants.

Married couples get fairly significant tax benefits in the US and can share health insurance benefits, social security payments etc. It's one of the major reasons gays pushed so hard for marriage equality. It wasn't the ceremony they wanted, they were already doing that on their own, it was state recognition.

centrelink is part of the ATO.

The payouts are essentially a form of tax breaks since you get a net sum from the gov.

When was abusing your government office to cram your mysticism down other people's throats ever a canonical exercise of "freedom of religion?"

I liked the part where they say the only reason she is out of jail is because god said so.
