Regardless of where people stand on the whole argument of this being a matter of suppressing Folau's right to express his religious faith, or not My concern lies more in the creeping overeach of policing what people say.
As in, state (and/or employer) imposed truth on matters being the only permitted format to express views in relation to a particular topic.
For example LGBTIQ+++ politics and advocacy is now delving very heavily into transgender and intersex issues, where sport has become the latest battleground.
Many reasonable people wish no ill will on transgender or intersex athletes, but are of the opinion that the only people who should be permitted to compete in women's sport are those born biologically female. This view usually being purely on the basis of basic, objective, observable scientific fact. But no matter how objective and reasonable such a view is, it is increasingly being howeled down, with tge inference being that it is bigoted hate speech.
As such, I can see a day that the LBGTI political lobby's position on this becomes state (and corporate world's) inforced truth on the matter and any view contrary is not permitted to be uttered in public discourse without punishment.
