The No campaign is being spuriously overseen by a close minded rampaging zealot with a penchant for budgie smugglers, who was once given the keys to our kingdom. He has a gay sister but his Christian charity and compassion has gaping holes in it and clearly cannot even be extended to his own family. His children stand against his archaic point of view. Christmas must be fun at their place.I feel ashamed that the Australian government lacks the balls (I prefer to use ovaries as a marker for courage but women remain grossly under-represented in our parliaments) to simply pass legislature - as so many other nations already have - to give same sex couples the same legal rights that I have. So that their marriages too hold them as legal next of kin in the kind of dire scenarios we all hope to never find ourselves in. So they get the piece of paper, meaningfully stamped.Like most Western democracies, we are built on a prettily worded constitution that reeks of freedom but delivers very little in our thoroughly modern, grossly overpolicied world. And in the face of war, environmental disaster, poverty and violence who does it harm if two more humans find each other, fall in love and want to commit to each other for keeps?I voted yes. Twice.
