So we are having a postal vote in Australia to see the majoritys opinion on same sex marriage and its costing the taxpayer 122 million. Anyway, I've done a little more digging because there was something I could not reconcile (and something Alpha had said to me that I didn't understand until yesterday), that marriage is actually separate from religion and has nothing to do with the church. I literally thought if you were not married in a church, a couple had a civil union. I'm not sure why I had thought this all these years, but its clarified a lot of things to me. Now I know that state recognized marriage is also 'marriage' , the church does not have a legal requirement to marry couples if they choose to refuse, why the hell are we denying couples the rights and liberties of heterosexual married couples? I agreed with heartless in the sense that the government is to blame and that church and state shouldn't have been 'muddled' like this, but gay couples should have the same rights as married couples legally. Knowing now that marriage is literally a state recognized law with nothing to do with religion WHATSOEVER, why the hell are we not doing it?


Okay here's my pathetic problem. I am a stubborn piece of shit. Even though I've always believed in equality and the liberty for all, I do however hate the leftist libtards who take things too far with their outrageous and pathetic protests. Its because of their hippy ideals I'm tempted to vote no, just to spite them. However, I then remember that I have a couple of friends who are gay and my vote, if anything, should be being used for them. Secondly, I'm super stubborn and hate admitting that I was wrong to even contemplate not voting yes, even though I did not have all the information.

I'm also now incredibly intrigued to hear an argument against this now. Literally why not?

Here is the worst anti-gay marriage ad we have in Australia at the moment. Even when I was contemplating a no vote, I still could not understand the argument being put fourth in the advertisement. Could someone kindly explain this to me also, please?
