Comments on: The “new” marriage equality strategy is bound to be a failure /opinion/the-new-marriage-equality-strategy-is-bound-to-be-a-failure/141679 Setting Australia’s LGBTI agenda since 1979 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 13:15:09 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.5.5 By: Mark /opinion/the-new-marriage-equality-strategy-is-bound-to-be-a-failure/141679#comment-558223 Wed, 02 Mar 2016 13:15:09 +0000 https://starobserver.com.au/?p=141679#comment-558223 Australia will only have marriage equality, when the bigoted Liberal MPs and Senators cunts all fuck off to Iran or Russia! The Lower House keeps blocking marriage equality by just 5 fucking votes, when the Senate or Upper House has a majority support for marriage equality!

The High Court was influenced by the legality of gay marriage in other jurisdictions when it decided the marriage power in the Constitution includes the power to make gay marriage legal and I am confident that the Parliament will be influenced in that way too. It’s sad we have to wait but until quite recently the Law institutionalised homophobia in our society, and in other societies, that are otherwise democratic and accepting of difference and multiculturalism.

We can only hope that our international friends come to our rescue soon, as I fear we are unable to sort this mess out on our own.

On a personal note I have to say if it comes to a choice between electing a Labor government now or waiting a bit longer for Marriage Equality I’m definitely prepared to wait a bit longer…. a lot longer in fact. :)
