The debate over whether or not same sex marriage should be allowed in Australia and if it even is what name or form it should be given is certainly a controversial one and last week it took a rather unusual twist.

Margaret Court is well known in the tennis world for her achievements in her early days,

Among her tennis playing achievements
Margaret Court won 62 grand slam titles - 24 singles, 19 women's doubles and 19 mixed doubles.

She is now a well known Christian Minister and pastor of a church in Perth in Western Australia and has spoken out against same sex marriage legislation voicing her opposition and in doing so seems to have copped not just criticisms but there are even people like Doctor Kerryn Phelps who want to remove Margaret Court’s name from the Australian Tennis Open Arena that was named in Margaret Court’s honour.

Now this is where things get interesting.

Of course people are going to have disagreements about the things they believe in including issues about various government policies.

But some campaigners including some homosexuals seems to think that they have a right to do and say whatever they want and no one else should be allowed to enjoy the same freedoms or free speech.

Good parenting and good community relationship doesn't see colour or religion

I want to say at the outset today that I am not impressed by global Muslim blood sacrifices of animals in the streets in many countries this past week.

It is part of their religious practice and I think since we hold religious freedoms to be important then we have to respect that.

Aside from differences of beliefs, some people do discriminate against people who are different to them when they don’t understand those differences.

Over the weekend those who are of the  Muslim faith kept their religious Hajj festival, but when you hold a party like that not everyone respects those around them trying to get to sleep.

From the outside, to neighbours, it looks very much like a Maori Hangi, a Greek name day party or a bang up Aussie BBQ.  just without alcohol
When you live in a community with other people.
It doesn’t matter what religion is or your background is, discrimination can go both ways.

Say perhaps if you invite  30 of your friends to party loud and late into the night
and the parents don’t know what their young boys are doing up and down the street

Don’t worry about them, they say, they are good boys...just being kids....
