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...
@Maheshk4yrs4Y
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.
@8FXY5V94yrs4Y
Gay marriage is a tool to undermine Western Civilization with the destruction of the family unit.
@4ZT84ZF4yrs4Y
Get rid of marriage and other slavery contracts
@8C8T6B24yrs4Y
No, believing in gay rights is against our lord and savior, JESUS CHRIST
@4ZH2V3Y4yrs4Y
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.
@992LLJK2yrs2Y
Yes, rights for all LGBTQ people should be protected.
@9VK64ZZ2mos2MO
Legalise gays but ban trans, non binary, bisexual, lesbians and other LGBTQIA+ groups that are not gay males
