Lower House votes down same-sex marriage bill: The House of Representatives has overwhelmingly voted against legislation that would have allowed same-sex couples to marry.
Just 42 MPs supported the private members bill put forward by Labor backbencher Stephen Jones, while 98 MPs voted against.
However I am NOT SURPRISED by this result. by constantly calling it "same-sex marriage" legislation rather than "Marriage Equality" the issue became more about a validation of being gay & lesbian. Trans and Interex (which would have been included in the Federal legislation but NOT any of the State legislations currently being prepared) were written out of the issue. I think a "fair go for everyone" approach would have had better results.
