Summary: Homosexual "marriages" (Press, 1 July 1978)
In a letter published on 1 July 1978, Varian J. Wilson criticises media coverage of homosexual "marriages" and related activities, arguing that such relationships are illegal and suggesting that reporting on them only serves to undermine societal norms. Wilson expresses concern that even if the law were to change to allow same-sex relationships in private, media coverage would negate that privacy. He views the reporting of "gay pride" events as harmful, equating it to condoning what he perceives as moral depravity and pornographic displays, which he believes should be addressed by the authorities. Wilson urges Prime Minister Muldoon to tackle what he sees as double standards in the government's handling of social issues, particularly contrasting the swift action taken against medically controlled abortions with the inaction on homosexual law reform.
