Celebs’ irksome marriage views

-

IS ANYONE else tiring of media personalit­ies preaching that any view other than theirs on samesex marriage is wrong?

On one channel we have a presenter backing same- sex marriage just after walking out on his marriage. His pontificat­ing on the meaning of marriage is the ultimate in hypocrisy.

Then on another channel we have a Muslim presenter doing his best to convince a majority Christian population to vote “yes” for SSM. He is yet to tell us which Muslim imam or mosque will be the first to condone a same- sex marriage.

Meanwhile, current TV shows parade celebritie­s and movie stars to promote SSM.

Why should we be interested in their views of marriage? Many of them will have multiple marriages and just treat marriage as a photo opportunit­y to be sold to the highest bidding media outlet.

Now the same personalit­ies vilify advertisem­ents by SSM opponents who do not believe schoolchil­dren should be brainwashe­d into accepting homosexual­ity as normal.

It is, in fact, against the order of nature.

You can put two bulls in the best paddock in Australia and they can love each other for the rest of their lives ( or at least until the cows come home) and they will not produce a calf.

If or when same- sex marriage becomes law, no doubt, a couple of angry lesbians will be taking a marriage celebrant to court for refusing to perform a marriage ceremony effectivel­y denying the right to an alternate opinion.

Gay and lesbian couples do have a right to commit to a loving relationsh­ip with a commitment ceremony but why must they destroy my belief that marriage is a convention­al union of a man and a women? M. JOHNSTON,
