  1. Two-faced or what? We’re not homophobes. That sentences belongs in the BS bin.

    No due respect given. No due respect owed.

    No wonder i’m an atheist.

    Well if this is not being homophobic, I will bare my backside in Bourke Street. With all due respect, the Church should clean up its own back yard before attacking gay marriages. A gay marriage hurts no one. Pity the same can’t be said for those innocent children who have been abused. And they wonder why people are turning their backs on religion?

    The problem with most Colac people is that they have never had any contact either direct or indirectly with those having other sexual preferences other than heterosexuals. The majority of people are welcoming of everyone which is great to see – especially in Colac! Though the youth of Colac have definitely not been educated in same-sex attraction and accepting others that are different and CAN’T help it!

    I am a middle-aged gay man who is repulsed by some of the attitudes in the Colac Otway Shire which is why I don’t live there, and I feel for gay youth who do live in Colac and surrounds – may you escape the discrimination of the 5% of people who aren’t happy with their own sexualities.

  4. Sorry but this is disgusting.

    everyone deserves to be loved whether is same sex or not. I think.its so rude and degrading. Imagine how they feel

    put yourself in there shoes what are you going to do if your daughter or son turns out to be gay???
