Re homosexuality.
I’m old school and raised Christian. It would be false of me to say how much I love these people, when I have little or no contact with their culture and community. I was brought up in a time when if you acted with fear you were labelled a “homo”. Or likewise if you admitted liking feminine things.
But I try to stay open-minded even if it doesn’t come naturally. Even I couldn’t understand why they wanted to marry, when there is such a huge divorce rate among heterosexuals. I have nephews and nieces who have been with their partners for 10, 15 years with kids and have not tied the knot yet. As if to say “Marriage? You can have it!”
We Aussies may seem backward, even primitive to countries who have legalised gay marriage already.
