    Good luck to Father Paul Kelly, I wish him well in this campaign and hope that many others campaign with him. The so called gay panic defense should have no place in society. What would happen if I murdered a woman because she came on to me, could I then use the straight panic in my defense? I doubt it!

      this isnothing but an attempt by the catholic church to let their murders of gay people , iinlamed by eg the Scottish archbishops call for war against gay marriage off the hook.

      these horrible people talk about protecting life , then essentially cause murder , and then try and get the murderer off.

      What else would you expect if your boss was a german pope who UNexcommunciated a holocaust denier, bishop Wiilliamson.

      Surely the pope knows that the SA etc sent the gays to the ovens with the jews.

      The man approaches a clone of germany’s leader when he was growng up there, born in 1928 and served also in the unowhat youth corp.

      1. No this is a RC priest acting against the wishes of the church and seeking to change civil law to benefit LGBT people.

    Well done to Father Paul Kelly.

    As long as this stupid claim exists they will claim a right to murder an innocent human being and get away with it.

    That cannot be acceptable is any circumstances esp in any civilised society..

    I suppose been drunk is a good defense to murder someone as well..

    What if I suffer from a “Straight Panic” attack and kill a woman coming on to me? Can I invoke it in a court of law? Seems fair, doesn’t it?

    can PN revise the URL for the petition. The current link is not working, and I would like to add my name to the petition.

    1. The link needs a colon after http. The correct link is:

      http://www.change.org/gaypanic
