In America, you probably know her as Portia de Rossi, but in my town, Geelong, she’s also known as Amanda Lee Rogers, born January 31, 1973. “Married” to talk show host Ellen DeGeneres, the Generation X star and vegan lesbian, however, seems more Hollywood than regional Australian.
Of late, the celebrity has attacked our prime minister, Julia Gillard, for defending time-honored traditional marriages, but has also received criticism for refusing to be interviewed by men. Perhaps, though, Portia was never about tolerance. And it invites the question: What gives her the right to preach about civil rights while treating some males like lepers?
Still, my fellow Australians aren’t all marching to Portia’s beat — outside of Hollywood, I mean.
Restaurateur John Spellman, one of the pioneers of gay rights in Darwin, Australia, opposes the Northern Territory branch of the Labor Party’s attempts to push the Federal Parliament to legalize gay marriage. In his view, “marriage is not the right word. It’s religious. It’s for a man and a woman to produce children. And I think you’d offend a lot of people by using the word marriage.”
Christopher Pearson, who works as a tutor and happens to be gay, submits that radical environmentalists are using the sacred institution for their bizarre agendas. “Among the reasons the Greens are so keen on same-sex marriage is that they want to reduce the population and drive down national fertility. Their refusal to discriminate positively in favour of heterosexuality and uphold the distinctive value of normal marriage shows their political project yet again for what it is: a dead end.”

Right. Why do some lesbians hate men unless they’re homosexual?
From “Chasing Amy”
Banky Edwards: Alright, now see this? This is a four-way road, okay? And dead in the center is a crisp, new, hundred dollar bill. Now, at the end of each of these streets are four people, okay? You following?
Holden: Yeah.
Banky Edwards: Good. Over here, we have a male-affectionate, easy to get along with, non-political agenda lesbian. Down here, we have a man-hating, angry as ...., agenda of rage, bitter dyke. Over here, we got Santa Claus, and up here the Easter Bunny. Which one is going to get to the hundred dollar bill first?
Holden: What is this supposed to prove?
Banky Edwards: No, I’m serious. This is a serious exercise. It’s like an SAT question. Which one is going to get to the hundred dollar bill first? The male-friendly lesbian, the man-hating dyke, Santa Claus, or the Easter bunny?
Holden: The man-hating dyke.
Banky Edwards: Good. Why?
Holden: I don’t know.
Banky Edwards: [shouting] Because the other three are figments of your ....ing imagination!
Haha - good call.
LOL.
Probably because that photo was taken when she was in the throes of extreme anorexia, at one point down to 86 pounds... I don’t wish that on anyone gay or straight.
Soooo... A man and a woman have a child and raise him/her in a loving home is just TERRIBLE,right? But two “mommies” who stay together for 4 years is desirable.
Where did I say that? There was a comment about that terrible photo of her looking anorexic and I commented that is because she was anorexic. I made no statement about her sexual proclivities and resent you attacking me for something I did not say since all I stated was a fact — she was down to 86 pounds and I don’t care what your sexual leaning is — that is SAD.
I wan’t replying to you. Just making a statement. 86 punds for anyone BTW, is unhealthy.
It was addressed to me so I did take offense..... I’ve done the same in the past, however and failed to remove the To: on my post; yes 86 is very unhealthy. What I read is she went home to AU for Christmas and her family was shocked, her brother burst into tears and begged her to get help. I just found that very sad.
Geez.....I wonder who they will put on DWTS next....With his popularity with libs maybe they will put on Julian Assnage!! Then we could snatch him up and throw his sissy butt in jail......
I give her a couple of more years before she changes her mind....that is just too pretty to be gay...hell, I’ll even go for bi...
Have faith. Remember Ellen scared her last partner straight.
