FTFY. This thread has broached that subject, what with his gold high heels and pink panties that he wears from time to time.
And I say that without the least bit of disparagement. In fact, I encourage him to come out. I'd buy him a beer or ten and warmly congratulate him with a brotherly hug.

Australia same-sex marriage bill passes Senate hurdle

Australia is a step closer to legalising same-sex marriage after lawmakers passed a bill in the Senate.

The upper house bill will now be debated in the House of Representatives, where if approved it will become law.

It follows a historic national vote that showed a majority of Australians support changing the Marriage Act.

Senators passed the bill 43-12 on Wednesday, after rejecting proposed amendments by conservative lawmakers.

Attorney-General George Brandis, the government's Senate leader, said the legislation would "demolish the last significant bastion of legal discrimination" concerning sexuality.

"By passing this bill, we are saying to those vulnerable young people there is nothing wrong with you. You are not unusual. You are not abnormal. You are just you," he said on Tuesday, when the main debate took place.

The bill allows exemptions for those classed as "religious marriage celebrants" who do not want to perform same-sex ceremonies on the basis of their faith.

Some government senators had tried to extend the exemptions to include civil celebrants, but that push was voted down.

A conservative amendment to create two definitions of marriage - one between a "man and a woman" and another between "two people" - was also rejected, as was one allowing parents to remove their children from schools over same-sex marriage teachings.

The bill drew heartfelt speeches from many senators after it was introduced by government Senator Dean Smith with broad cross-party support.

The legislation was tabled hours after a non-binding national poll showed that 61.6% of Australian voters were in favour of change.

Mr Brandis said legalising same-sex marriage would be the "imperishable legacy" of Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull's government.

Opposition parties have previously accused the government of delaying parliamentary debate on the legislation so it could hold the national survey.

The debate in the House of Representatives will begin next week. The government has said the house will not adjourn until the legislation is passed.

3 cheers for the bum-shifting woofters!

Nearly there fellas...

Keep the babycham on ice until the lower house vote next week...

Reminds me...

I see that Pauline Hansen has been trotting out the entirely predictable and fallacious floodgates arguments about underage marriage and polygamy.

That she's actually a senator is either a testament to democracy - even nasty bigots can have a voice - or a damning indictment on Australia. Or both.

The fudge-burglars should bang up a bust of him on Oxford Street.

He can go down in history standing proud and erect as the upstanding member for Wentworth who grabbed parliament by the scruff of the ball-bag and pushed it through the backdoor of the lower house facing stiff resistance but with a bit of lubricant from the opinion survey!

^

Turdbull is a fooking faggot anyway Loopy,

Soon as he is marched out of Government he will be down Oxford street selling condoms and ecstasy to the faggotry.

^He is indeed a grasping conniving coont tez who would sell his own grandmother to save his majority in the lower house and for another term in the lodge.

A man of no beliefs or principles.

I think standing up for the shifters is the only time I have seen him doing anything that could be considered principled (whatever side of that argument you stand on) so for that at least I say forge the bronze statue (with malcolm wearing arse-less cowboy chaps!) and hoist it on Oxford street!

^

Not to mention he is a Multi million air who don't need to be selling Condoms and ecstasy to poovs eh.

Fookin tight coont.

I like Pauline, she tells the Poovs to stop being dirty coonts and fair a fooking nuff to.

Actually i love Trump and Pauline Pants down,

Fok the haters innit.

^I thought the pooves would be shaking in their shoes when trumpy got up as he seems not shy about espousing conservative stances on almost any issue but he seems a bit reticent on the whole poove-marriage gay-politics thing.

I have not heard trumpy utter a single word of opinion on that subject.

Did I miss it?

That has been my biggest disappointment in the lumpy orange fucker. I was looking forward to some choice trumpisms on the botty-bashers nuptials.

Malcolm was Kerry Packer's lawyer that tells you he has no scruples.

At a guess, biology. Hormones first and formost. It's very complex; from how the hips widen to how an ovum is attached to all sorts of things.

Good call ohoh.

We need to bust a move on these wimmin who are trying to marginalise men and undermine our position with their sexual harrassment politics.

Once us blokes can bake our own buns in the oven we will have rendered wimmin obsolete.

With some minor mods to the plumbing we could maybe even auto-fertilise without having to get married to another bloke.

Fook em.

Do that shit on his time off, dirty Bastards.

Same-sex marriage legalised in Australia as Parliament passes historic law

Australia has officially become the 26th country to legalise same-sex marriage after the law passed on Thursday with the resounding backing of the Federal Parliament.

Thirteen years after changing the Marriage Act to explicitly forbid same-sex unions, federal politicians voted to undo the last major piece of discrimination against gay and lesbian Australians.

It followed last month's emphatic resolution of the Australian public in the postal survey to join the rest of the English-speaking world by embracing marriage equality.

The vote in the House of Representatives on Thursday came after last week's vote in the Senate, meaning the law has now passed both houses of Parliament.

Fairfax Media understands a special meeting of the Executive Council has been called for Friday morning for the Governor-General to officially sign the bill into law.: Same-sex marriage legalised in Australia as Parliament passes historic law

So Australia finishes a distant 2nd behind NZ yet again.






Ps. Keep Russell Crowe you cants!

...I wonder which country will be next to throw off the shackles of religion and musty tradition to legalize marriage for all...maybe those countries that benefit mightily from the pink tourist dollar and would suffer if subjected to a boycott...

Salute to the pooves.



You got up.

Well done fellas.

This isn't new by I still thinks it's quite moving.
