While it sounds lovely to be legally married in Australia just too many in our Community are not interested in taking the step,their clearly vocal naturally but just too many,especially men love the lifestyle of numerous one-night stands fuelled by the numerous gay quick sex apps.
There are a small percentage of us who would like to be married with the love of our lives but the majority are just too busy looking for the next exciting root.
Before asking for Marriage let’s clean up our own backyard first then we might be taken seriously.Hard to admit but everyone knows this,think about it while you taking a rest from Grinder,Manhunt,Scuff,Hornet,Gaydar…
Thanks

In reply to Sivori Tanascev. The Australian Marriage Act does not require couples to be able to procreate in order to be married. Neither do most churches. Even the Catholic church only requires couples to be able to have sex in a manner that may lead to procreation, even though they may be sterile. Procreation may be a product of some marriages, but it is not a pre-requisite to marriage.

Nothing can rebuild his leadership and any change in his stance on marriage equality would feel cheap and disingenuous. Would rather wait for a leader who truly believes in marriage equality

I doubt if he would support this and even if he did, it would be luke warm support and I don’t think the issue would sway peoples vote at the next election.

In reply to Mark McCoy. No. You are wrong. Sadly though, it is his conservatve views that make him blind to this very necessary reform.

So he will allow it just to reempower his leadership? then it is not worth discussing if this is the case, we want a pm who will do it for the right reason not for keeping himself in power

The thought of trading human rights for popularity disgusts me. People who suggest this or approve the means to an end are bottom feeders.

He wouldn’t give his own sister the privilege, what hope would the rest of us have? Besides which, this government is too mean spirited. I want the lot of them gone.

The definition of marriage in the dictionary supports Abbott.
