Let's not get Sam George's arguments wrong. He's not doing this because of his religious affiliation whatsoever, all that he wants is for the subjects to be well protected by the institution of the Law. The Human rights Law doesn't just allow you to do things you like.....

Sam George is a good debater and a strong fighter we can go on and on and on but the question is can he win this fight against the LGBTQ families? A big NO so let's not waste time on things we can't do anything about, let's them talk about the unemployment rate in this country
