Gay Partnership Cerimonites in ACT

[boxy]

The ACT Legislative Assembly passed legislation earlier this month to allow gay couples to recognise their relationship with a legal ceremony.

The Commonwealth raised concerns about the laws but has now reached a compromise with the ACT.

Gay couples will still be able to have ceremonies but will also have to notify the registrar-general.

Jim Wallace from the Australian Christian Lobby says that mimics marriage and the Rudd Labor Government has betrayed Christians who voted for it.

Whining from those who hate to see their tax perks and social security benefits also available to freaks?

Australia's first legally binding civil partnership ceremony has been held in Canberra.

The Legislative Assembly passed a Greens bill earlier this month allowing gay couples to recognise their relationship with a legal ceremony.

Warren McGaw and Chris Rumble - who have been together for nearly 20 years - celebrated their civil partnership at the Old Parliament House rose gardens this afternoon.

Why shouldn't they be able to have a formal union ceremony if they want? I cannot understand why people would object in reality- it is not anyone's business.

Meh. If the poofs/leboes want a ceremony, why should I care? No skin off my nose. In fact, there has been nothing stopping them tip toing through the tulips, (i.e. have a ceremony) if that is what they wanted. Who cares?

I have no objections per say, but I would like a sin tax placed on all assholes and then the alcohol pop tax repealed.

We, as a nation, need to get our priorities straight, or gay, but we need to do it.

When I am lazy I am partial to Woodstock gold can gunk.

You can drive while you are drinking it and the cops think you are drinking caffine free diet coke.

Drink, drive, fuckin' idiot!

But seriously... has Federal Labor broken an election promise (not that it matters, this week).

I drive better when I am drinking, sober I shake all over the road.

Those ads where they say drink and drive and "WE WILL GET YOU" crack me up, I usually drink on my way to work and on my way home, for years, nothing nadda.

Catch me if you can.

Amen. The .05 limit is to be ignored. It was designed for crap drivers who can't hold their booze.
