| |
03:00 | Graeme Colman - My guests tonight.. |
| |
03:20 | Caller: Richard - Lou you’re having a rough time, don’t be flustered.. I’ve met homosexuals, I first met them aged 18/19. There is nothing “gay” about homosexuality.. The word should be “perverted”.. We shouldn’t encourage it. I would vote against it.. send them to jail |
| |
06:30 | Ian Scott – what is natural.. is sex just for procreation .. I’m currently a criminal.. The law is an ass.. how are we going to police this law. |
| |
09:20 | Lou Sheldon – No one has been put in jail for the last 14 years for private consensual gay sex. This Bill is actually a disguise for the gay movement to push forward their agenda.. California example.. society is breaking down.. anal probes.. AIDS.. 93% of AIDS patients in LA are homosexual – cities of refuge.. homosexuality is being taught as an alternative lifestyle.. Gay Power |
| |
13:40 | Caller: Grant - are you the one with Herpes, I am appalled at Sheldon, lies, mis-information, I apologise as a Roman Catholic.. Law school example |
| |
16:16 | Sheldon – you started it, we’re going to finish it! You’d have been smarter politically if you had left it alone |
| |
16:50 | Scott – Sheldon thinks we should leave it alone.. This law will not have any affect on how I live my life |
| |
18:30 | Caller: Grace - homosexuality is a cause of death. AIDS. As a doctor don’t you have a responsibility to the community |
| |
20:30 | Scott – homosexuality does not cause AIDS |
| |
20:40 | Sheldon – that’s not true |
| |
20:50 | Scott – there are more heterosexual cases of AIDS in the world .. anal intercourse occurs more commonly in the heterosexual community. |
| |
22:40 | Coleman – 20,000 cases of AIDS worldwide |
| |
23:50 | Sheldon – everyone who has AIDS dies.. 2 August - 14,400 in the US .. AIDS is spread by gay sex.. multiple partners |
| |
25:50 | Scott – as a doctor I’m promoting safe sex, and promoting law reform |
| |
26:38 | Sheldon – if you pass this bill – avalanche of AIDS! ..graphic sexual description |
| |
27:00 | Sheldon – isolate AIDS sufferers to city’s of refuge |
| |
28:20 | Scott – at the moment we’re containing the epidemic in New Zealand |
| |
29:00 | Scott– Keith Hay wanted us on Rangitoto Island.. The gay community is reacting responsibly.. |

| |
31:00 | Colman – Television New Zealand news would not broadcast “anal intercourse” |
| |
31:10 | Caller: Colleen - where was Sheldon ordained. I’m for the Homosexual Law Reform. The ancient Romans had gay relationships.. you’re a typical American evangelist.. gays aren’t going to give us AIDS. |
| |
33:20 | Sheldon – I’ve been invited.. In the last 10 years, West LA is now a gay ghetto, militant gay people, |
| |
34:40 | Scott – I’m glad Sheldon is here.. what’s at risk is important social reform. |
| |
35:30 | Sheldon – they’ve got a hidden agenda! |
| |
36:10 | Caller: Bob - I welcome Sheldon. God is going to bring judgement. Our country is bad enough. We are not going to do any good by relaxing the laws. |
| |
38:20 | Sheldon – I’m part of an international evangelist network.. It’s a matter of right and wrong. We have to stick by these principals. |
| |
39:08 | Scott – I’m glad that the Reverend is here because it exposes the religious network. |
| |
40:00 | Sheldon – let me conclude. If we make a choice we must pay the consequence |
| |
40:30 | Colman – give us a call |
