… So withdraw Same-Sex Marriage Bill says Save Marriage Coalition.
The Tasmanian Same-Sex Marriage Bill should be immediately withdrawn now that gay lobby proponents concede all discrimination against same sex couples has been removed from Tasmanian laws, said Mr Guy Barnett Spokesperson for the Save Marriage Coalition.
“With the passing of the Tasmanian Government’s Adoption Bill allowing same-sex adoption Mr Rodney Croome of the Gay and Lesbian Rights group said ‘The last vestiges of discrimination have been removed from state law’.
“At last a concession that marriage is a federal issue not a state issue. Hurrah, said Mr Barnett.
“Enough is enough, it is time for the State Government to withdraw the Same-sex marriage Bill and cease their relentless and distracting campaign and focus on the economy. The state government says the same-sex marriage Bill is a top priority but Mr Croome says that all discrimination against same-sex couples has now been removed from state law.
“The Government’s new adoption laws allow same-sex couples to adopt unknown children, condemning these children to a life without a mother or a father. It is a tragic outcome contrary to the best interests for these children. The Adoption Bill is adult focused in the extreme.
Children at any stage of life should not be treated as toys or trophies, they are to be cherished loved and nurtured, and at all times their best interests should remain paramount, Mr Barnett said.
