Gay Marriage Bill introduced into the Senate
Green's Senator, the Hon. Sarah Hanson-Young has introduced a Bill into the Federal Parliament Senate which proposes to grant same-sex couples equal marriage rights.
Debate has been postponed and, as Parliament has just risen for Winter, won't be continued until at least August.
What I find amazing is that the Govt is trying to justify its position on denying a group of people equal human rights by saying it'll upset a few rednecks and, therefore, we can't do it. Fuckers. I'm not going to hold my breath that the Bill will pass, especially if people are meant to vote on party lines, but I'll hope and write to my local Members advising them to support the bill. Maybe one day everyone will wake up and realise that noone's different from anyone else, esepcially on the basis of who they love.
