Salt Shakers and same-sex registrations
Posted by Angie on Wed 21-Feb-2007 at 12:00 pm
Melbourne City Council is considering the introduction of a same-sex ‘Relationships Declaration Register‘, a move that has shocked and appalled the egregious Salt Shakers ‘Christian ethics’ group. Leaders Peter and Jenny Stokes turned up at a recent council meeting at which this idea was discussed. No other Salt Shaker bothered to do so, thus setting the scene for one of Peter’s legendary dummy-spits:
Who cares that I can’t sleep?
Who cares that Jenny and I were OUTNUMBERED 12, maybe 15 to 1 tonight at the Melbourne City Council meeting? And it was not pleasant!!!
Who really cares that we were the ONLY VOICE opposed to allowing the legal recognition of same-sex relationships into Victoria BY STEALTH at this meeting?
Peter warmed quickly to his theme:
Who cares about the SIX MONTH OLD BABY BOY being used as a political tool by his TWO DADS?
Who cares about the YOUNG GIRL (6 years old?) being used as a political football by HER TWO MUMS? …
Who really cares that, if this political game succeeds, homosexuality is even more likely to be TAUGHT AS NORMAL in our schools because it is legal to register same-sex relationships?
Just in case you were still wondering what the actual problem was, Peter proceeded to draw his readers a map:
WHO CARES that young boys are led into unnatural and dangerous sexual practices because society has ‘normalised’ what God knows could KILL them?
Who cares that young girls will be led into lesbianism - with all the psychological and physical health problems that can accompany it?
Peter concluded with a stirring call to action:
WHO REALLY CARES? I’m sorry this is so long, but hey, WHO REALLY CARES? … WE HAVE JUST TWO WEEKS TO CARE, yes, you can fast and pray too if you like, BUT WILL YOU CARE ENOUGH TO ACTUALLY CONFRONT THIS EVIL?

Salt Shakers hasn’t had much luck with its campaigns over the last two or three years. You wonder if Stokes’ ingrained habits of crying wolf and browbeating his followers just might have something to do with it.
