HOMOSEXUALS BACK AWAY FROM FORMALISED RELATIONSHIPS

The homosexual lobby continues to push for varying forms of “marriage” relationships be they civil unions or relationships registration. However evidence in places where legislation to allow such arrangements has been passed would seem to indicate that individual homosexuals in fact make little use of their hard fought gains.For instance in Tasmania which introduced a ‘relationships register’ in January 2004, only 43 partnerships were registered in the first year and only 15 in the second year. There are now 63 registered. Sydney City Council introduced a relationships register in January 2005 – so far only 22 couples have registered.New Zealand introduced a ‘civil union’ scheme twelve months ago. Only 156 male and 170 female same-sex couples have registered. The 2001 NZ census showed there were 5070 same-sex couples – therefore only 6% of those couples have formalised their relationship with a ‘civil union’. That hardly seems to represent a strong demand for changes which are supposed to be of vital importance and highly sought after by agitators within the homosexual community. The real motive obviously lays elsewhere. Perhaps it is more the destruction of traditional marriage they are after by gradually watering it down until it looses it’s God given meaning. Or perhaps it is just their way of trying to legitimise homosexuality as a “normal” lifestyle. Either way the above figures certainly do not warrant legislative change for so few people.
