I've been meaning to link to this issue for the past week or so, but kept forgetting whenever I was online. But it's something I've been thinking about on public transport to and from work, and occasionally at work when talking to someone who I overheard talking about his boyfriend... But it wasn't something I was supposed to hear, so I haven't spoken about this with him.
Anyway, just wanted to share.
If my understanding is correct, then the current leading political party over here is supporting gay marriage, but the vote to legalise it will happen next year.
Also, Prime Minister Julia Gillard, someone who I admire for the most part (a strong atheist woman, the first female PM, supportive of the common worker - things I can relate to) has been quoted as saying she doesn't support gay marriage... So that decreases my respect for her.
I think the quote went along the lines of giving people rights, though she doesn't "get" gay marriage... Whatever. As long as we have rights, that's fine by me.
Thoughts?
