Precambrian Rabbi wrote:Australian couple to kill own children if gays are allowed to adopt

. The Jensens have been hailed as heroes by the Christian community, but as borderline simpletons by anyone with even the remotest concept of empathy for people who were born homosexual.

Canberra resident Simon Williams told us, “Look, they’re as entitled to their opinion as anyone, but if they’re going to stop doing things just because gay people are allowed to do it, how about they start with ‘breathing’?”

Australian Couple Says They'll Get Divorced If Same-Sex Marriage Is Legalized

A Christian couple in Australia has vowed to get divorced if marriage equality becomes legal.

In an op-ed for the Canberra CityNews, Nick Jensen wrote that he and his wife, Sarah, would, “as a matter of conscience, refuse to recognize the government’s regulation of marriage if its definition includes the solemnization of same sex couples.”

“Marriage is the union of a man and a woman before a community in the sight of God. And the marriage of any couple is important to God regardless of whether that couple recognizes God’s involvement or authority in it,” Jensen wrote.
Jensen and his wife have been married for 10 years and have children together. But according to him, the Australian government would essentially be nullifying their marriage contract if it chooses to legalize same-sex marriage.

175,000 Pledge To Party If Anti-Gay Australia Couple Divorces Over Same-Sex Marriage

The Internet has responded in full force to an anti-gay Australian couple who vowed to get divorced if marriage equality came to their home country.

Last month, Nick Jensen wrote an op-ed for the Canberra CityNews in which he claimed that he and his wife Sarah would “as a matter of conscience, refuse to recognize the government’s regulation of marriage if its definition includes the solemnization of same-sex couples.” Jensen went on to attribute his beliefs to the definition of marriage as a "union of a man and a woman before a community in the sight of God."
In response to these claims, Jesse Mount, also an Australian citizen, created a Facebook group for people who will celebrate the Jensen's divorce by having a massive party once marriage equality comes to the country as a whole. The group currently has over 175,000 members who have RSVP-ed for the party.

Rick Scarborough, the antigay Texas pastor who already made headlines with a full-page newspaper ad announcing that he had at least 44,500 followers who pledged to go to jail to defend so-called traditional marriage, is now threatening to set himself on fire to stop marriage equality.

They’re after God,” he said of the nine Supreme Court justices who are expected to rule soon on whether state bans on same-sex marriage should be struck down. “This country better be aware, we’ve suffered a lot of injustices, but I’m not sure God is going to tolerate this one very long.”
