We are diverse and belong everywhere – there are lesbians in the National Party and gay men in the Liberal party.

YOU ARE WRONG.

Only a twisted demented self loathing gay with zero intellectual integrity would belong to that party. Go to hell you vandalising war monger, and please turn straight. Floor your leader and auction your Arse on eBay.

Well done!

I know gay marriage will not be possible within Australia until at least 2020 the way things are going politically and socially!

There is no good reason to deny that we must keep evolving until an adult, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, monogamy or polyamory, race, or religion is free to share love, sex, residence, and marriage (and any of those without the others) with any and all consenting adults. Polyamory, polygamy, open relationships are not for everyone, but they are for some. The limited same-gender freedom to marry is a great and historic step, but is NOT full marriage equality, because equality “just for some” is not equality. Let’s stand up for EVERY ADULT’S right to marry the person(s) they love. Get on the right side of history!

If he’s using this tragedy for political reasons

Tacky, opportunistic and sadly he’s just as f…..ed up as that other gay right winger

How low can we go in this country with such greedy and selfish politicians

Ugh ugh ugh

Hope he’s a good guy.

i despise their politics but welcome this move.

Now let’s hope they stop playing identity politics with the community and initiate real change in policy and that law to marry..

well done!!

How can it be a tragedy to have someone start supporting equality? That’s what we’d like everyone to do!

He should have got out into his constituency – the whole of Western Australia – long ago and found that marriage equality has vast majority support. It is a tragedy that it’s taken a man’s murder to change “the mind of this “staunchly conservative, devoutly Christian monarchist”.
