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.
@9M2TS5W5mos5MO
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

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.

What they do in the privacy of their lives is their business.
Yes, rights for all LGBTQ people should be protected.

@936635F2yrs2Y
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.
@9BKYMTK1yr1Y

@8QX5HSY4yrs4Y

@8QTH5BR4yrs4Y
not my choice its their own
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
Their choice but no one cares
People are free to do whatever they please, however, it goes against the teachings of my religion so I don't agree with it .
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.
If they want to, leg them be.
@99XQ8C62yrs2Y
marriage should be banned all together
@9353BBF2yrs2Y
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.
@934TVRY2yrs2Y
The marriage between individuals is not something for others to vote on
@934J2B62yrs2Y
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.
@92Y7FSN2yrs2Y
Criminalise all marriage regardless of sex
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.
@9JPP255One Nation8mos8MO
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.

@9D55ZWK1yr1Y
I personally think neither religion or the government should get involved in the union of two people no matter their gender and sexual orientation
@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
@97Q63F62yrs2Y

@9BW9X6T1yr1Y
@9BN3WM21yr1Y
Yes, but only same sex biologically can get married
@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
This question is no longer relevant and should be removed. it should be a yes for every one
@8SBHGJL3yrs3Y
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
yes but i don't support them when they try to make you feel uncomfortable
@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.
