As a
background to my story: New Zealand’s Parliament has just voted 2 to 1 to start
formalising the ability for Gays to formally get married. Currently they can
enter a pseudo marriage called a Civil Union.
Anyway the
subject of Gay Marriage came up in topic around my bar leaner at my local pub on Friday night.
Most people
in my group are conservative, default Catholics and National voters (think: Conservative
Party in U.K or Republicans in USA)
It was
surprising to hear how many thought being homosexual was something that was ‘learnt’
or ‘as a result of their up-bringing’
I listened
tongue in check for a couple of minutes, musing their false logic before
proclaiming…
“Oh I get
it. The monastical life and teachings of the Catholic Church would explain why so many
priests bugger little boys”
The
discussion came to a prompt end.
Score one
for critical thinking with a heavy dash of cynicism.
