SYDNEY - The Australian Marriage Forum (AMF) has reacted to the US Supreme Court choice saying states can no more boycott same-sex marriage. Their president compared it to legalizing slavery.
President David van Gend labelled the decision an “historic act of social self-mutilation” and accused the West of having “moral dementia”. “Five judges in 1857 imposed the racist abomination of the Dred Scott decision on all the states of the Union,” van Gend said.
“Just as the five judges in 1857 were so degenerate as to enshrine slavery in the Constitution, so five judges today enshrine sodomy in the Constitution. The fallout for the moral culture of the US and for the education of children is incalculable.”
In 1857, the US Supreme Court ruled against Dred Scott after he endeavored to sue for his opportunity. In a 7-2 vote, the court said African American individuals were not American subjects and along these lines couldn't sue. “The Supreme Court’s slavery decision was eventually repented of and reversed, just as the homosexual ‘marriage’ decision will have to be repented of and reversed – but after how much social damage is done?” van Gend asked.
The AMF have beforehand started discussion with marriage correspondence correlations, saying the change would make another Stolen Generation. The Stolen Generation is a term for the a large number of Indigenous Australian kids who were taken from their families under government strategy from 1909 to 1970.
“In Australia, same-sex couples are free to live as they choose, but they are not free to choose a motherless or fatherless existence for a little child,” van Gend said on Saturday. “Nor are they free to impose homosexual values on our children and grandchildren in the school curriculum, which is what laws for same-sex ‘marriage’ have done overseas and would do in Australia too.”

Australian Anti-Gay Group: "Legalizing same-sex marriage is like legalizing slavery."

One of the speeches during this event was U.S President Barack Obama at the University of Brisbane, He spoke on the many issues such as women and gay rights, climate change, the Asia-Pacific region as a whole and the threat of the destruction of the Great Barrier Reef.
The current leader of the world's only superpower also took the time out to throw some jokes around with the people in attendance, admiring the local beer to go along with the warm weather.
Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott has thus far been upstaged by the other world leaders as he and his government push aside or ignore these issues, Hopefully this G20 event makes the current Australian government rethink such issues sooner rather then later.
The full forty one minute speech can be viewed in full below.
