However, in a spirit of not inflicting personal views onto others (something the no camp would do well to learn) it's still a "yes" vote with these two options. Should be a third "fix marriage first" option though.

You don't assume "till death us do part" and you don't even let those under 25 make such a commitment that you know they don't get. In short, you understand what marriage is actually good for, and you change the structures to match that, rather than some understanding of "women as property" from 1800. That's what I mean by fix. |

2016 Census: Religion Should the rest of the religions state marriage can only be between a man and a woman, then the "yes" vote could be in trouble. If you're against it, vote no. If you're for it, vote yes. If you think it's nothing to do with you, then vote yes. |

I especially liked the bits where it says 80% of gays don't want to get married anyway, so what??? Freedom is freedom to do or not do. Gay marriage means gay divorce, awesome, but again it has zero to do with me. The marriage equality instead of the previous Gay marriage, that saves the cost of a vote on transgender marriage in 20 years time, or gender fluid in 40. I'm inclined to thinkg the latter is bollocks anyway to be honest, and many transgender issues are the same, but what is the point in opposing 2 adults getting married? You don't need to be a leftard snowflake to vote yes, just someone who recognizes their own lack of relevance in the matter. |
