The Seventh Day Adventist church should tend to itself and not seek to interfere in the ordinary conduct of a lawful secular business. "Violent crime, bashings, drug related crimes, prostitution and rape" - these all remind me of certain qualified Old Testament endorsements supposedly made by, or on behalf of "the Creator".
Thankfully, most rational people do not subscribe to an infallible belief in scripture.
The club is unlikely to bring rape, bashings or the like, but it will further cast an already shameful view of the gay community.
I have lived in and around Wollongong for most of my life and I do not oppose gay clubs because they give the gay community somewhere to be proud, safe, and comfortable in a social sense. However the club that is being mentioned in this article is not one of those places, and such filthy places should not be permitted for the benefit of any decent ordinary gay man.
Uncouth behaviour that takes places in places like the one being proposed is just another nail in our acceptance into the community.
You display either your ignorance or your naivety, I'm not sure which.
This proposed ''men's club'' isn't merely a place for homosexuals to meet and socialise: eg have a coffee, read a book, have lunch, go dancing, etc.
Religion has nothing to do with it, either.
Many people who live and work and study in Wollongong would object to this filth if they knew what will be, and has been, going on inside that building.
The common name for such a ''business'' amongst the ''homosexual commmunity'' is: sluthut.
That's unbridled sex orgies by dozens of men all night and all day long.
That's hundreds and hundreds of sex tourists coming to visit and live here in our city.
The Seventh Day Adventist Church has a right and a duyt to protest against this business and to protect the people of Wollongong from an influx of hundreds of the most unsavoury sexual perverts.
The wonder is that more of Wollongong's allegedly community-oriented organisations have not also lodged formal objections to this business.
Oh the outrage....
