Default Australia votes YES to equal marriage
Quote:
Australians have voted in favour of legalising same-sex marriage in a historic non-binding poll.
The vote showed 61.6% of people favoured allowing same-sex couples to wed, the Australian Bureau of Statistics said.
The poll had 79.5% participation of eligible voters, the bureau said.

the whole fiasco of having a postal vote has been totally ridiculous and a waste of money, but alas, at least the yes vote was victorious.

a near-on 80% turnout is surprisingly high, unless Australian voting is always that high I guess?

It's compulsory for Australians to vote for political parties, so they're more used to it.

It's disgusting that there can be a vote on equal rights. The majority getting a VOTE on whether minorities should have equal rights, is just morally reprehensible.

That being said, good job Australia, and congrats.

Yeah I agree, felt abit ridiculous when we were voting too. It was because it involved changing our constitution though and that always has to go to referendum

So Kylie can start planning her wedding now. She always said she and her fiance wouldn't marry till gay marriage is legal in Australia.
