You can still discriminate against me!

Gay rights advocates criticise new discrimination laws

Under the changes, religious groups will no longer be able to discriminate on the grounds of race, disability, age, physical features, political belief or breastfeeding.

But they can continue to discriminate on grounds including sexuality or marital status if it is in accordance with their beliefs.

You may think its just more 'poofs' having a whinge about 'rights' again. You may think about things like 'Mardis Gras' in Sydney and imagine, its just more 'flaming fags' complaining again. You may even think of such nasty things as 'paedophiles' when you are faced with Gay.

I am not a gay rights whinger.

I am not a flaming poof who does 'Mardis Gras'.

I am certainly not a paedophile (we tend to leave that to the hetrosexual-criminals on the most part!!!!)

But I am gay.

Not a lefty. Not a greeny. Not a socialist. And no, despite what some might think, I am not 'flaming' (you think I am? you need to get out more and see what true 'flaming' really is about!!!)

I am conservative. I am in a long term relationship (14 years). I wear a tie to work. I believe in 'family'!

But I am gay. And I am constantly amazed that, for this one thing, I am still legally allowed to be discriminated against in this country (Australia).

Doesn't seem right to me. But I will respect law, so feel free, take your best shot.
