Why there should not be a conscience vote on gay marriage

The Labor party needs to show courage to take a principled stand against the Christian soldiers. Bigotry shrouded in the cloth of religion is still bigotry.

We see the same Christian soldiers condemning the evils of gambling yet see organised religion inflicting parasitic tithes targeted to those in society in desperate circumstances, are the Christian soldiers really concerned about the impact of the lives of the gamblers or do they see gambling as a rival to their precious revenue stream and power.

Quite simply the Labor Policy should support equal recognition of homosexual relationships under the law. Those Labor politicians who cannot support this basic Human Right should leave.

We should not support a conscience vote on intolerance and bigotry.
