Margaret Court went on the project show and tried to voice her opinions on Gay Marriage. Her position is that it should be left alone and that marriage is a union between man and woman primarily to facilitate the up bringing of children. Also its supposed to be a permanent reunion, not change with the wind. That is also the position of the law.
But the project panellists wouldn't let her get a word in and tried to mock her views. Was it disgraceful that someone who was just reaffirming the current law and centuries of tradition gets bullied on TV? even calling for the Margaret court to be renamed?
I don't think anyone has a problem with Gay people (nor do I), but both sides of this debate should be heard without trying to close down the other side, respectfully and not shaming or labelling those as homophobic that choose to defend the current state of law.
Does Marriage mean that much to the Gay community to get it changed? To be committed to someone doesn't mean that you need to be married to them? Im not sure what the Gay community is missing out on?
Its like a 5 foot man saying why cant I play centre in the NBA? Or someone that is 75 years old wanting to play in the NRL and being denied. Or what if a group of 3 people want to get married? where does it all stop?
