Gay marriage, also known as same-sex marriage, is the marriage between two people of the same sex. The Australian government outlawed same-sex marriage when it passed the Marriage Act of 1961. The act stated that the government would not recognise same-sex marriages, traditional Aboriginal marriages or polygamous marriages. In 2016 the leaders of Australia’s major political parties voiced their support for legalizing same-sex marriage though a formal bill has yet to be introduced.

Legalise same-sex marriage, and hold the Catholic church accountable for all of the child abuse cases. The hypocrisy is outstanding...
Allow marriage but only if they have declared they are homosexuals at least 2-3 years prior in an official way.Also make it compulsory to declare homosexuality to prevent them getting in to a heterosexual relationship or prevent marrying a opposite sex.
@9M2TS5W8mos8MO
Making it so a group in society to register themselves, has never gone well, also they are gay, why would they date the opposite sex, does this mean straight people have to register themselves so they don't date the opposite sex
@8FXY5V9One Nation4yrs4Y
Gay marriage is a tool to undermine Western Civilization with the destruction of the family unit.
Get rid of marriage and other slavery contracts
@8C8T6B24yrs4Y
No, believing in gay rights is against our lord and savior, JESUS CHRIST
We LGBT people are wasting our time and money on this issue. Marriage is the least way we are neglected by society when you consider wider problems that lead to our oppression. It won't talk us down from the rooftop.
Yes, rights for all LGBTQ people should be protected.
@9VPM2DV3mos3MO
ur wrong and u are a dickhead

Legalise gays but ban trans, non binary, bisexual, lesbians and other LGBTQIA+ groups that are not gay males
@8YLV9KWOne Nation3yrs3Y
@9FK24ZM1yr1Y
Yes as they contribute to tax
What they do in the privacy of their lives is their business.
@8QX5HSY4yrs4Y
I dont really care as long as they dont try to force their opinion on me.
@936635F3yrs3Y
YES! The government and any religion shouldn't even be involved with this matter and it should have never been illegal. It should be up to the individual and their decisions, not anyone else, not the government and not religion. It should have never been illegal.
@8K3J5QY4yrs4Y
@9BKYMTK2yrs2Y
do not support but accept
@8QTH5BR4yrs4Y
not my choice its their own
@93TYVWM2yrs2Y
I'm apart of the LGBTQIA+ and I support it Slayyy
I don’t agree with same sex marriage but at the end of the day you love who you love, if that person is not your family member or a child, I don’t see a reason for the government to get involved
@934TVRY3yrs3Y
The marriage between individuals is not something for others to vote on
@934J2B63yrs3Y
Marriage shouldn’t be a thing.
There should be a law that says something like if you live together in a relationship with someone for 12 months then you legally bound together.
Who with who is up to the people and this law would apply to anybody.
@92Y7FSN3yrs3Y
Criminalise all marriage regardless of sex
People are free to do whatever they please, however, it goes against the teachings of my religion so I don't agree with it .
@9F9CM9C1yr1Y
i support the pirate party
@9D55ZWK1yr1Y
@99XLZP82yrs2Y
I believe marriage should not be a political object as it is purely a religious choice to make.
@99B7VWB2yrs2Y
I guess if you are happy with your partner then it is what it is
No, Which every gender people marry is not my business regardless of gender
@9353BBF3yrs3Y
Yes; those in same sex relationships should maintain the right to both have their relationship legally recognised, and access to the supportive, and stable, family structure marriage provides.
I believe any gender-to-gender relationships and sex marriage with, and with no consent to the government or society, complete up to the people that are in the relationship together.
@9JPP255One Nation11mos11MO
I don’t really know. As long as it doesn’t have anything to do with me, I’m fine with it but I’m not really for those things and stuff so yeah. As long as I’m not included in the mess, I’m fine.
@9D7QJS71yr1Y
bro men dating men thats weird asf bro
@9BW9X6T2yrs2Y
@97Q63F62yrs2Y
No instead lets ban heterosexual marriage
Their choice but no one cares
Personally in my opinion I don`t but they have every right to do what they like. So yes but as long as they don't disrupt to those whom religions and culture have grown up to reject lgbtq+ and to be like that. If they population of same sex marriage rises their could be a problem of human reproduction so really depends on the situation.
If they want to, leg them be.
I personally think neither religion or the government should get involved in the union of two people no matter their gender and sexual orientation
@9BN3WM22yrs2Y
Yes, but only same sex biologically can get married
@99XQ8C62yrs2Y
marriage should be banned all together
@99X4VGT2yrs2Y
Let everyone have their own choice and not get harassed because of it but I don't agree with it
@8TS65G93yrs3Y
only same sex marriage is allowed
@8SBHGJL4yrs4Y
The LGBT community should have an opportunity to create a mechanism identical to marriage, but marriage has a homophobic history and is steeped in religion
This question is no longer relevant and should be removed. it should be a yes for every one
@8RJQ7574yrs4Y
I believe that you can love who you want and marry who you want. but I do not support the things that they follow.
yes but i don't support them when they try to make you feel uncomfortable
@8C9728D4yrs4Y
yes because if you find the one you love and you want to get married it doesn't matter if they're the same gender or not
personally I don't, but if others want to get married to the same sex the allow it.
@8LM5WCH4yrs4Y
Not exactly, but I respect same sex marriages just don't agree with them
@8LM3BYN4yrs4Y
No, however I do believe they should be able to celebrate a union and have all of the same rights, give it another name
@8XMLNCBConservatives3yrs3Y
Yes, they should get the same legal rights as anyone else.
@8X3924L3yrs3Y
it should just be legal they are people to. let them marry who they want
@8WQ34YP3yrs3Y
its when they shove it down your throat
@8WNSM9PIndependent3yrs3Y
i dont mind what they do
@8VC6KG4Independent3yrs3Y
Yes and establish a joint parliamentary same sex and straight marriages joint committee
Yes, and it was dumb that we voted on whether or not people deserved the same rights as the rest of us.
@8TZGJZS3yrs3Y
Criminalise homosexuality
yes but people should not be forcing these opinions on young children.
@8TQXVCROne Nation3yrs3Y
Not at all,it's a very disgusting practice and should be outlawed in this country
yes definetly absulutly!!!
@8QWDL474yrs4Y
only lesbian relationships
I don't like it but I do support it
@8P667FZ4yrs4Y
I don’t care if they want to but they sould be allowed to
@8NKFRVS4yrs4Y
No. Religiously speaking, I don't support it, but it doesn't affect me personally either way, though I agree that churches should have the right to refuse same-sex ceremonies.
@8MDQD4JLiberal Democrat4yrs4Y
Yes, but preferably the government should stay out of the marriage business, government shouldnt be able to regulate personal choices if said choices do not harm others.
@8JT5P8Z4yrs4Y
I don't agree with it but I don't mind it happening because it doesn't affect me
@8HB8ZTX4yrs4Y
I do not care people do whatever they want to do
@8F5N79D4yrs4Y
No, marriage should not be recognised by the state. Different and same sex marriages should be defined as civil unions in legislation.
@meela4yrs4Y
No, marriage is antiquated and confers few legal or social privilged
Neutral, but allow for people to hold their own views.
@9VT9XH93mos3MO
I don't think it matters all too much. Let people love who they love how they want. It's not gonna cause the destruction of society
yes, don’t bother me with the gay stuff
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y

@92R63GN3yrs3Y
Yes, it's just two people of the same gender who love each other, it's just like a straight marriage but same gender.
@92JZ2MP3yrs3Y
Yes as well as polyamorous marriage
there is only 2 genders boy and girl and they are what the world has made and should stay with that, now the world is going crazy because people are turning into fury which are what are you identify as and thus will make the world even worse.
people should be able to like their gender and not be gay or other people. the world is now messed up because people dont know how to stay as their gender.
@9M8VM7M8mos8MO

@933X8MV3yrs3Y
only if your willing to be proud of yourself
@933L7D33yrs3Y
Yes and who cares what anyone is doing, us talking about this is wasting time and its a little offensive to others who choose to live differently to what we have considered to be normal.
Yes, but it shouldn't be called marriage.
