I am pissed off!
Has it been considered that our PM is opposed to marriage because she is
opposed to the institution of marriage? This is not a boring liberal
question of equality. I do not wish or want equality with the
institution of heterosexual marriage as the exchange of women, full stop.
I have lived with a women in a committed emotional relationship, as a
gay man. She slept with other women and men as she chose in her own
bedroom, just as I had sex with other men in my own bedroom. There was a
slight problem when one of her male overnighters used my razor blade and
this raised the risk of him getting AIDS from me. However, as it
happens, he was an editor and writer of a prominent gay magazine prior
to his present job, so he knew better. (Being gay it is assumed I have
AIDS, or might have...)
So what is the big deal about our Aust PM living with a supposed gay
hairdresser, in a committed relationship? If gay marriage is the be all
and end all of gay equal rights... then perhaps now I should take an
overdose of the pills my doctor prescribed for me! Or given the
dermatitis and fungal infections invading my body... maybe AIDS will get
me first! (Pills as a cure for AIDS is a cruel myth.)
