Not because we're religious zealots, or fear same-sex marriage is the first step towards legalised bestiality, or that we're a bunch of 'bigoted c*#ts' (Thank you very much for a respectful start to the debate, Tim Minchin.) I don't know if same-sex marriage is un-Australian, but this plebiscite sure is. A YES vote on the other hand won't automatically make same-sex marriage legal, but it will force the issue to be debated and taken to a free vote in the House of Representatives. A YES vote simply forces our politicians to make the decision, as they should have done in the first place. I'm not so much a same-sex marriage supporter as I am an advocate for politicians doing their bloody job.
