So, a marriage equality act is to be considered by parliament. The social networks are abuzz with unscientific polling, and even accounting for the younger and more socially liberal demographic found on the hallowed interwebs, the fact that these polls have support for marriage equality outstripping opposition by a margin of about 10-to-1 is quite heartening. It seems, online at least, that people don't really see any problem with consenting adults having their relationship recognised under the same legal category whether these relationships are hetero-or-homosexual.
However, the debate... those opposed to marriage equality may, according to the polls, be a minority. But BOY are they vocal! Which really makes me wonder.
WHY are they so emotionally invested in the relationships of people they will likely never, ever meet?
