Right. I'm sure one parent is "bemused." Who wouldn't be?
Idiot.

Given we cannot change our children's sexuality, the only thing we can help change is society's damaging attitudes towards gay men.

Good idea. Homosexuals, male and female, are mentally unbalanced. Pass it on.

A Homophobe is a homosexual that calls himself "gay."

Homophobia is the wrong word and you all know that gays and lesbians prefer its use....Personally, I am not afraid of homosexuals, but I don't particularly like them ......maybe they should call it homodislike, but I refuse to use the term Homophobia.

...it is salutary to recall that almost 40 per cent of Australian men think sex between two men is always wrong, according to new findings from the Australian National Sex Survey.

I find it astounding the number is that low.

You keep using that word, "Inoconceivable." I do not in think is means what you think it means.

That is NOT a "given."

If these guys could get away with it they'd call 8-year olds "young homosexual men".

No one believes them anymore.

homophobia

HOMO = A member of the genus Homo, which includes the extinct and extant species of humans.

PHOBIA = A persistent, abnormal, and irrational fear of a specific thing or situation that compels one to avoid it, despite the awareness and reassurance that it is not dangerous.

So, HOMOPHOBIA = irrational fear of humans

Those who have an irrational fear of humans are called HERMITS. Since when are HERMITS the cause of any 'legal inequalities'?

A friend's daughter has come out as a koala-f***er and has embarked on an active sex life. She is barely 16, and seems to be enjoying herself immensely. One parent is bemused, the other upset. But they should be thankful.

Fortunately for the girl and her partner, NSW takes a Queen Victoria-like attitude to koala-f***ing. For girls, age of consent laws in NSW do not discriminate between heterosexual and koala sex. If you are a 16-year-old girl, you are legally free to indulge in either (or both) forms of sex.

There is no escaping the conclusion that male homosexuality is the problem.

See! Even in an ocean of lunacy, the author still manages this nugget of truth.

"ROTFLMAO!"

Thank you. A little satire goes a long way.
