Tasmania passes more pro-homosexual laws

The Tasmanian government is continuing down the path of 'progressive' changes...

Last week they passed two laws...

* State-based same-sex 'marriage' law - Tasmania already has a 'Relationship Register' law for same-sex (and heterosexual) couples.
Now the state Labor government, led by Lara Giddings, has introduced a Bill to legalise state-based same-sex 'marriage'. The Bill has passed the House of Assembly (lower house) - with Labor and Greens supporting the Bill and the Liberal Party opposing it.
Perhaps it is another consequence of Labor being beholden to the Greens to retain power! Or perhaps it is because of Lara Giddings' personal progressive agenda...
The Bill will now go to the Legislative Council for a debate and vote in a couple of weeks.

Comment: Of course, marriage is a federal responsibility - not a state one - and various legal opinions say this move is actually illegal - if passed, it could be challenged in the High Court.

* Surrogacy law - to allow homosexual and de facto heterosexual couples to get a surrogate to carry a baby for them. The law had been under consideration for a year, and was finally passed by the Legislative Council. Read media report.
This removes the right for children to be raised by their biological mother and father.

Tasmania was the last state to legalise homosexual sexual activity - now they seem to want to be the first to fully endorse homosexual relationships by legalising same-sex 'marriage' and surrogacy. It shows the state of the world we are living in, with God's word about marriage and family increasingly being rejected by society - and governments.
