Why Australians need more debate about the consequences of redefining marriage
by Lyle Shelton, Australian Christian Lobby:
It was disappointing to see the Shadow Attorney General assert that same-sex marriage posed no threat to other peoples’ freedoms, Australian Christian Lobby Managing Director Lyle Shelton said today.
“Sadly the idea that redefining marriage and freedom for those who disagreed were “unrelated” had no basis in reality both overseas and here in Australia.
Mr Dreyfus made the comments the Freedom for Faith conference in Melbourne yesterday.
“There is a long list of people in the US, UK and Canada who have been fined, hauled before courts and demonised out of their jobs for their belief that marriage is between one man and one woman,” Mr Shelton said.
Mr Shelton said Mr Dreyfus was asked about the Trinity Western Law School in Canada who’s graduates are refused accreditation because of the university’s policy on marriage.
Mr Dreyfus told the conference he had “no knowledge” of this high profile case.
“Clearly more work needs to be done to raise awareness with parliamentarians and the public about the consequences of redefining marriage.
