A Christian couple in Australia
announced that they will divorce once gay marriage is approved in Australia.
According to a write up by Nick
Jensen for the Canberra City News:
"My wife and I just
celebrated our 10-year anniversary. But later this year, we may be getting a
divorce. Why? Marriage is the union of a man and a woman before a community in
the sight of God and it is not subject to human invention.”
He further said that if the
Australian parliament approves gay marriage in Australia, they no longer “wish
to be associated” with the new definition.
Jensen’s post stirred the
criticism of many Australians and international readers, who took issue with the
CCN for having it as a cover story.
Meanwhile, many praised the
post not because of its perspective but due to the fact that gay marriage can
push forward reading a “stupid” article.
CCN responded to stirred
readers by saying that the article does not reflect the opinion of the paper
and the editor believes “it had an interesting angle that made it newsworthy”.
