"
GAY marriages should be opposed because they would not be popular among homosexuals, Parliamentary Health Secretary Christopher Pyne has declared.
Mr Pyne is opposed to a push by Liberal backbenchers, who are urging Australia to follow Britain's lead and recognise civil unions for gay people.
"I don't favour recognition for civil unions because I think marriage is a heterosexual construct, and I doubt it would be popular amongst homosexual couples, given that it's not a homosexual concept," he said."- Patricia Karvelas, Dec. 30, 2005
