Nelson affirms stance on queer rights

Opposition leader Brendan Nelson confirmed the Liberals’ stance on GLBT rights in a speech to the National Press Club recently.news-250.jpg

 “We believe … in relation to people, that families are the foundation of Australian society,” Nelson said. “I make no apology for saying that a man and a woman is a marriage and that forms a family.

I don’t support gay marriage, I don’t support gay adoption and I don’t support gay IVF.

But I sure as hell believe very strongly that no Australian should pay a dollar more in tax or receive a dollar less in social security by virtue of his or her sexuality and I will do everything I possibly can from opposition to see that those and other things are delivered.”

Nice one, Brendan! On a positive note... a foundation is important in any structure/society but it is what we see above the ground that gives a structure beauty, form and purpose. I assume that's where we come in!

Looking forward to the tax cuts though!
