OH MY GOD I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!! SAME SEX MARRIAGES HAVE BEEN MADE LEGAL IN TASMANIA, AUSTRALIA!!!
This is so so so good. I'm straight, but I fucking wish the rest of the ignorant bastards in the Australian government would follow and make same sex marriages legal in every state.
I wouldn't get your hopes up sadly... It's stupid, the only difference is the term and yet the rights are the same, so why can't we just make it equal and stop the discrimination. Even a poll in QLD showed that the majority (<70%) of the population supported equal marriage rights.
It's been passed through the lower house, it still needs to be passed in the upper house. Once that happens then hopefully the same will happen in the rest of Australia :)
