While I don't agree with her views she has every right to them.
That's the trouble these days, anyone who doesn't agree with the 'popular' view is shouted down and bullied for being a bigot or racist or American. The way she was treated on the project the other night was disgusting. |

Don't agree with calls to rename the stadium ... it was named in honour of her sporting achievements. Nothing she says can undo those.

Are you really that stupid? Or do you wear a colostomy bag thus never needing to clean after defecating?

She is completely entitled to her views and actions, regardless.
I I support and uphold her rights to say and do as she wishes.

Thought the plebiscite would have settled the issue. Still scratching my head over the Greens and Labor with Xenophone voting it down. I would have accepted the result and moved on, but as time goes on it appears the LGHJHGGSDSFS lobby and elites don't trust the people. Maybe support is less than they claim.

Don't know how she'll be getting around seeing as all our airlines support marriage equality
But everyone is entitled to an opinion. You don't have to agree with them, and I don't agree with her. But you don't get to bully people for having a view. |

I don't have the same view on gay marriage she does but, but to have her questioned from 4 or 5 different angles in rapid fire tactics because she doesn't have the same view is poor form
I don't watch the show often as it's the same tactic for many and varied causes that don't fit with their left wing idiolagies. About time he only time I agree is when Carrie pushes her brain cancer charity And yes I think wallied is the biggest toss a on TV today

Perhaps prime time media could grill Islam over the homophobic, sexist ideology. Recent events in Indonesia could be a prime example for it, only problem is that it contradicts their inconsistent hypocritical narrative. |

Ever listened to Hadley or Jones or any of the other right wing commentators.
They do exactly the same thing. I don't agree with her treatment but that behaviour is not something exclusive to "progressive" commentators. The left and right are exact mirrors of each other. They have partisan views, ram them down our throats and cry like little snowflakes when the "other" side does it.

I am glad to see that the discussion so far has been about a person's right to express their opinion openly and not about same-sex marriage.

She's a person, she's allowed to have an opinion.
The responses to it are way over the top and unfortunately becoming too typical these days. I want to know how an entity eg. Qantas, Tennis Australia, can have an opinion. I have no problem with a CEO or a janitor or a shop assistant having an opinion but none of those has the right to demand that their entity has the same one. Maybe the Margaret Court Arena sign could now be made larger... |

Would not the public be more accepting of the outcome if we all marked yes or no? Really, my point was the plebiscite could have been done and dusted if Labor and Greens main interest was marriage equality instead of politics. It would have passed like it did in Ireland imo. The one thing about politics is it always wastes time and money. Why would you object to money being spent on this particular issue? So what if people put forward passionate arguments for their cause. Isn't that what democracy is about? Should we be scared of a debate? Should we shut down debate on the grounds of hurt feelings. Like any issue there are a range of issues and views. We should never suppress views we should encourage expressing them. This is how concensus is reached. |

Yeah, she's allowed her opinion. It's tiring when the religious will open up the Bible to defend their position but will write off other unsavoury positions as 'well, it was a different time back then..'.
Bible says marriage is between a man and a woman. It also condones marriage between a man and many women. A man, a woman and his concubines. A man and the woman he raped provided he pays the father the value of her virginity. Force marriage between your slaves. If you can provide a good reason as to why marriage between two consenting adults should not be allowed, I'm happy to evaluate. Cos the Bible says isn't going to cut it. |

Henry Rollins take on gay marriage. The world would be a better place if he were in charge.

I support SSM and I support Margaret Court’s freedom to express her opinion against but I do think complaining about being bullied is a bit far-fetched.
Bullying is a subject the gay community knows a lot about as they’ve suffered it across cultures throughout history and still do and it goes way beyond verbal attacks. Even on our own doorstep where the gay bashings of the seventies were considered acceptable by the majority of the population or a least not seen as any great concern and where the Police often couldn’t be bothered properly investigating any death that smelt of a homophobic crime. The bulling aspect of the argument on her side needs to be put into perspective. These days with the very much opinionated traditional media and now social media if you have a comment to make on a decisive subject, rightly or wrongly you have to accept you’ll cope a torrent of abuse for your efforts, it goes with the territory. . |

i only saw minimal about this stupidity so the following may be off base but I like an opportunity to share MY OPINION on why I think this crap still happens.
Humans are a relatively young species, intelligence as we know it is new to us, lots of people still believe in god, unfortunately it's this superstition that guided the previous generations to not accept people if their preference in partner shares the same gender, either that or they're homophobic, personally, I couldn't give a toss, not only because I'm not stupid enough to believe in god but because if Adam and Steve wanna get it on, good luck to them, it doesn't effect me! BTW the project sucks a$$ ;) |

G'day Make of this what you will
https://www.google.com.au/search?q=m...hrome&ie=UTF-8 You can read the term 'marriage' both ways. Rare for me but I'll shut up and say no more on this except MARGARET COURT WAS AN ABSOLUTE LEGEND OF A TENNIS PLAYER.. We've never had a female player come close since although an honourable mention to Evonne Goolagong -Cawley It'd be pretty petty to rename the stadium on these grounds too. Keep religion opinions and sport separated. Cheers Rod. |
