What is Marriage?

I'm appalled by the fact that some of our church people find it acceptable for the Marriage Act to be amended to allow same-sex marriage even though they are not homosexual themselves. The very reason is that, they argue, people can choose their lifestyle and sex-orientation and they should be allowed so.

There is grave misunderstanding between the freedom for them to choose their lifestyle, and the need (if any) to amend the law to allow that. Under current Australian legislation, homosexual people can choose their lifestyle and opt to unite with their same-sex partners and enjoy certain benefits as a couple. Yet naturally, they are not the same as heterosexual couples and they will never be because of the nature of their union and the outcomes of their union.

whatismarriage.org.au has put together a simple video to show what the Marriage Act is about. See for yourself and decide if the Marriage Act should be preserved the way it is or not.

The Gay Debate

This has always been the "topic" for discussion and has sparked division among Christians themselves.
