Bravo Carl! Upon seeing the intolerant posts here I can only say in my experience of human beings, the one's who have a strong aversion for something generally are projecting what is consciously or unconsciously an issue within themselves. Otherwise they would not be so upset about something that has not to do personally/harming them directly. Ask any Psychologist about this!! I was like this prior to coming out. Sad that people lack mindfulness and emapathy, whilst expecting it from others!
haha, @nickdv95 I met someone the other day who knows you & explained why you have such an issue w marriage equality, when it (supposedly) does not effect you. To my delight I heard the story of how you were rejected by a dude a year ago & it cut you bad & you have many current personal issues, of course for most non-ignorant people that makes sence as for anyone that is not gay, marriage equality does not effect them at all. Don't take it out on the gay community just because you got rejected!
@itsnickaye Hahaha well it's now obvious you have some serious issues with your sexuality, being in the closet is a very frustrating experience... You will work it out one day! It's ok to be gay mate once you sort out your self hate. I do feel sorry for you! Though I would assume Carl is fighting for a better society for people like you who can break free from the hate and comfortably come out!
That's not equality, smartypants. It's like saying; "I believe in freedom of speech. You should be able to have free speech, just not in public or around anyone except yourself".
@Rafdaganga you can get married to who you like. Gay, bi, straight or transexual, who cares. Gay people can do that too. The rules of the fairytale believers (churches) only apply to the people who have signed up to those "clubs". I don't have the right to tell you how you should live your life - and you do certainly not have the right to tell others be they straight, gay, bi or transexual how they should live theirs.
im a bit confused as to how an elected member of parliament can be so openly discriminatory. if it were another group being persecuted say the jewish community there would be 99.9% outrage... i cant see a difference between the gay marriage issue and any other type of discrimination. it is utterly heart breaking. to the gay community i say you are not alone in your struggle for recognition as human beings with the undeniable rights i recieve without the slightest question... its a disgrace.
@honeybadgertrix Gay marriage is a oxymoron, sure gay's should be allowed to union but marriage is a christain religious union. The fact that it's the default union of our country shows that Australia is a christain nation (Christmas, Easter) few more examples. The GOV should have no input on marriage and should not recognize marriage, only legal unions. It's the church's responsibility to agure this case. Sure Bob's views are controversial but we live in a free speech nation.
@unggrabb When Muslims get unioned it's not a marriage you fool. When the marriage act was established Austrlaia was a majoirty of christains so It made sence for our default union act to be a marriage, but times changed since 1961, gay marriage was never an issue as it is today. Now why is the GOV equalizing civil unions?? Because they know they have no right to change the definition of marriage since it's a religious issue, only to acknowledge unions of all types. GOV is doing the right thing.
@abarford1 You are a stupid fuck, muslims, hindus, pastafaris, jews and christians get married, doesnt matter what you believe in (santa claus is also OK). i don't give a shit how you define marriage, really, is no interest to me - at all. If gay, bi, straight, transexuals want to get married, go for it
@unggrabb Can you actually read what I'm saying. No Muslim's dont get married if you had any fucking idea on the subject, nor Jews and Hindu's never called the union between two people a marriage until British intervention during their occupation of India.
You're confusing the main category of a union of two people with 1 subcategory of this; Marriage, Marriage is a Christain Relegious Union, you're Married under GOD.
People are unioned around the world but not all are called a Marriage!
what the fuck is wrong with you gutless bastards, people who oppose same sex couples are whats wrong with this country. if anything gay marriages will help lower the divorce rate. and people who think marriage is sacred obviously have not been to vagas.
It's one thing for society not to accept you, but a member of your own family? Your brother!? It must be hurtful. Honestly, who is it hurting if gay people are allowed to marry? Just let them! If you really truly believe it's a sin it doesn't matter because you're not doing it anyways! Let them "sin"!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Marriage is between a MAN and a Women! Same sex people getting married will ruin the tradition of marriage for the rest of us. Thumbs up if you agree/have the same views.
@Nightmare0987654321 A man and a women? Once again, proof that gay-haters are missing part of their brain. It's spelt woman, idiot. Same sex marriage does not ruin marriage. I'm a straight bloke and I feel more disillusioned by fools like you having the possibility to enter the gene pool. Get a life and keep your opinions out of other people's beds.
One likes pussy, the other likes cock. This cocksucker looks and sounds so proud to be only a "half brother" for some reason. What an absolute cocksucking bastard.
Bob Catter saying the idea of same-sex marriage should be "laughed at" and "ridiculed" is basically the same as saying gay people should be laughed at and ridiculed. No wonder Carl had a tough time growing up.
I don't understand how firstly those opposed to Gay Marriage can claim to be the victim in this debate, and secondly if you applied their logic and reasoning behind their opposition to any other issue they would all be held accountable under anti-discrimination laws, but somehow because it just "fags" they are bashing on it's ok.
I just hope Bob, Jim and Wendy (ACL) and the many, many others getting their hate on will be looked back on in the history books as the bigoted homophobes they are.
Good On Him.I couldn't care less what someone's sexual preferences are.Most homophobes are scared little people who are probably in the closet anyway and the ranting is just self loathing. Be happy, people.
You know I can think of a million things more important and emotion stirring than gay marriage. Legalize it, this is a nonissue that should require no thought at all and frankly there are far more pressing questions at hands.
Carl, kudos to you for standing up against this incessant bigotry. Your words echo loudly, bringing awareness and hope to others. We must all speak up re sexual inequality; the push for full Human Rights is everyone's responsibility.
.
Your comments repeat those of my intense Open Letter tweet to USA's Michele Bachmann last week.
I'm a gay man and of course I am for gay marriage, but I don't understand the purpose of this interview. Carl came on tv knowing he would be asked about bob's views and I think just saying, "I don't know/care", doesn't really cut it. No wonder George looked awkward - his interviewee was giving him nothing. There are far more eloquent and thoughtful opinions on gay marriage on here. If you haven't already seen Tom ballard's reply to Miranda Devine, look that one up now.
@cmw1981 Carl coming out on national television was much more powerful than any opinion piece in a paper. He is not public figure and it was a courageous and selfless act. It drives home to the community that we all have someone close to us who is gay.
@cmw1981 Sure he could have prepped a bit, and he was quite a closed interviewee. However his mere presence highlights how even Bob Katter himself has gay family whom his actions and words damage. If they'd put Bob on next to Carl, Carl would have seemed the epitome of rationality and articulation. Then afterwards they could have jelly wrestled..............
@Praptolium Before the 6:30 program was launched last year, George Negus released a press release stating that he would personally make sure that the show would cover more stories concerning GLBT issues.
Carl Katter - I salute you. Well done for having the courage to stand up on national TV and letting everyone know that you dont agree with Bob Katter. I agree with your words and I am sorry to hear of your difficult childhood. All the very best
do people realise that gay marriage under the Church and gay marriage under the law have no relation to each other? Religious groups should have no impact on the law, just as corporations should not be able to change or upheld laws that are unjust. end of.
@liberatewhites no you shut up, you bigoted cunt. We will never shut up and you can't shut us down you pathertic Youtube troll asshole. Liberte whites? Take your white whining about yuor crushing first world problems and shove it up your prolapsed asshole, faggot.
It's not that he is gay; it's that he is not homophobic or prejudiced and that he bases his opinions in ethics as opposed to conserve prejudice in society.
