	Comments on: Joseph Muscat in 2008 and 2013: &#8220;I don&#8217;t agree with gay marriage. It is not natural. Marriage is between a man and a woman.&#8221;	</title>

					<description><![CDATA[NGOs may generally be divided into broad groups such as environmental, philanthropic, sports and so on. There are one or two, such as Graffitti, which seem to be a little of everything but they are an exception and, at least to me, come across as bored young people looking for a cause to be angry about, so anything goes.

I do not expect a gay rights NGO to talk about hunting or biodiversity but they should certainly be concerned with the situation of immigrants, poverty, racism and human rights like freedom of speech. Many LGBTIQ persons are active in these fields, but on an individual basis,  not as an association.]]></description>

I really don&#039;t think being LGBT is the issue here.  As with any sizeable crowd of Maltese, the majority will accept the information they are fed and be happy with handouts.  It&#039;s the &quot;Malta qatt ma rifjutat qamh&quot; mentality.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[No offence meant, but that&#039;s because they&#039;re Maltese men - and to make matters worse, CHILDLESS Maltese men. How many gay women are vocal on the subject? Well, exactly - almost none.

That means what you&#039;re getting is not the view of the LGBTIQ lobby, but the view of your archetypal self-centred and chauvinistic Maltese man who just so happens to be gay - and also childless, which means that he doesn&#039;t have a perspective beyond himself.

There is a real division among Maltese people who are gay, and it is detectable: the gay men are for Joseph, but the gay women can&#039;t stand his guts.

The point to remember at all times is that gay Maltese men are, fundamentally, Maltese men - and so they are essentially very backward chauvinists.]]></description>

Expert, my great aunt Sally. They used the media bill, which had been hanging around for months, to mitigate the damage caused by Chris Cardona and his precautionary warrants. And only ended up making a bigger mess for themselves.

And now they&#039;ve reached for Plan Z - gay marriage - and have been roundly criticised for using a serious issue for their own nefarious ends. They could have predicted it would happen - because the same thing happened last year, when they tried this trick in the midst of the Panama scandal - so either they are really stupid or really desperate. But expert? What a joke.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The story repeats itself, every time. The Labour Party is expert in being devious and distracting focus from hot current issues. 

It is expert in mobilising resources when it deems appropriate and to raise spins so long it feels that the heat is off their backs.  

These people know no bounds in their indecency and obscenities. But one must ask WHY this government has been inconsistent throughout? 

The corrupt lot does not give a damn on any issue so long as it draws them votes, looking for niches where trickle by trickle the jar gets full and will eventually give them back victory. 

Many of the ignoramuses are not waivered by morality or what is right, but whats in it for them. This is the malady in our society, hence the populist movements. They are having it good everytime, no holds barred. 

The Nationalist Party should not give them room to breathe. This corrupt rabble must be suffocated at all costs. We have to do it because nobody else will.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This Marriage Act is just a way of holding on to the votes gained through the introduction of the civil union law. Do you think it&#039;s a coincidence that this is being mentioned now? 

Just like today&#039;s announcement that the government will invest 50 million euros in a social housing project which will be ready &quot;by the end of the year&quot;.

Fifty million euros spent to have something to show on their campaign billboards other than the gay-friendly Marriage Act. That&#039;s social conscience for you.]]></description>
