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.

Yesterday I raised concerns about overly zealous politically correct influences that I don’t believe are helpful to promoting the “get along attitude” that most Australians have.

What most of us enjoy is a  “get along attitude” because it is more accepting than mere tolerance that is promoted with a divided and fragmented community.

After yesterday’s comment I got a message online from one of my friends who thought I was getting caught up in a media beat up and even fabricating some hysteria about an issue that he doesn’t think exists at all.

Now the reason this person doesn’t see the intolerance towards others in the same way the rest of us see it is quite simple.

He gets along with other people, including those who have different religious beliefs to him, he doesn’t just tolerate them, he accepts them and often as friends, like most Aussie do,

But that doesn’t mean that Australia’s freedoms and cultural icons, the traditions and cultures that we know and love aren’t under attack and don’t need defending.

What makes Australia a better place is the freedom to celebrate religious celebrations openly and freely and for us all to embrace each other in acceptance.

and if some whinger or politician or administrative panel or public servant writing a memo tries to tell us we can’t celebrate those beliefs openly for fear of some fictional person taking offence....tell em to
