James – anger can be useful to motivate people, but cynicism is a passion-killer.

Some of the most important reforms were the result of a conscience vote from both major parties – decriminalisation of homosexuality, state entitlements for same-sex couples and most recently, same-sex adoption.

If Tony Abbott does the right thing and allows a conscience vote equal marriage could get up.

Being positive is ridic – we need to be angry! How many civil rights have been won by being nice and positive? They’re just going to try to put it to a conscience vote so it won’t get up. Very sad when all the states bar NSW are totally FOR a policy of equality.

But Anna Bligh supports marriage equality, and has spent the past year as ALP president. It’s not like it really helped the cause, is it?
