Does this topic seem more heated in Australia than almost anywhere else in the world?

Always so helpful Ders but unfortunately as the messages are political communications they're exempt from the Spam Act. In the same way those Coalition for Marriage ads are exempt from having to tell the truth.
Much love.

Sure enough, they discussed the corporate support of SSM and the validity of this or whether it's opportunistic/bandwagon on tonight's show.Gruen starts again soon, and I'd put $1000 on it they will weigh in on the subject. Wil Anderson is a massive supporter.

I would say yes but not too sure.
In other news, Macklemore is performing at the NRL Grand Final. One of his songs on set is "Same Love" which is about Marriage Equality. I heard on the news there is a petition going around to stop him from performing it.

I think that that's what the right wanted.tbh I think everyone, both Yes and No, has had a gutsful of it now. That's really the problem.

i don't understand.A 15% return rate is a joke. But makes me kinda happy as neither side could claim any legitimacy which would be great for a no outcome.

I wish that you could have seen my post today on Facebook. A couple of guys in their eighties talking about their relationship of fifty years. How it was illegal and even criminal. I've known a few older friends of Dorothy. Was also at the first gay lib meeting at Adelaide uni, maybe 73, kicked out because I didn't identify as gay. Dennis Altman was the speaker.Don't apologise! I feel like I'm being kicked in the guts every day by this. Only seven weeks to go... :/
oh ffsI would say yes but not too sure.

Today's PSA is on how to request a replacement survey package.
Here tis:

https://www4.abs.gov.au/web/survey.nsf/amlpspprenqform
The issuing of a replacement survey will invalidate any previously issued forms.

Wow some might think you are prejudice against people from Frankston.And - they are using bogan feral morons idiotic crap, made up utter rubbish - that bitch who whines about dress codes is from feral FRANKSTONE .
Honestly, Frankston is vile.......with the most ignorant voters of anywhere....I have worked elections there, with junkies off their faces, asking oh wonder how to vote..
Report and ban, that is so extreme, I've read thru this whole thread and the no voter has not revealed themselves... Totally worth banning a poster who has kept their so called controversial opinion to themselvesReport & ban em, we really do not need that kind on the forum. I mean it @Affable, find the post and report them
So basically on this issue you don't want anyone who has the opposite opinion to you to be able to post on these forums.... Seems very extreme, I'd rather not be an advocate for an echo chamber, instead a civilised discussion would be in my opinion a good way to interact with people that you don't agree with.Bullshit @jessy_girl ....utter bullshit
@Kingston.....has responded succinctly just why you are wrong...
No voters are either fuckwits that deserve banning, or old dodders that are beyond logic and well into dementia.
There is no reasonable support for torturing our fellow humans, so ban em
And might I remind you this forum has a large gay presence, and is owned by a gay man .....so I say fuck of no voters, go play with dickheads some place else.
I am not politically correct because I would prefer to be actually correct....
Well said. Staying positive will deffo be easier if I see more posts like these!However don't give up. If you engage with someone, stay classy and use reason to try and talk them around. Abusing them and calling them idiots will only increase their resolve to crush the issue.
Stay positive.
I can't even.....Got my survey today.
It says don't put anything else in the envelope.
I had intended to put a letter in with my feelings and opinions about get this shit sorted you wankers.
I guess they would just chuck it if it doesn't break rules......what about some glitter and sparkles?
So now you want bother the oldies.... What are you going to do if they say they are voting no? Say they have dementia and tell em their a bunch of fuckwits.I feel like visiting some nursing homes and making it clear, oldies are being mislead horribly
I hope you would not commit voter fraud. No matter which side I wanted to win I would not vote more than I am legally meant to.I sent my Yes vote in today. I am always getting mail for past tenants and was hoping I might get lucky and get a few extra Yes votes in, but no such luck
I would say yes but not too sure.

I don't like it when sports or entertainment try to influence any political agenda. If I had a link to the survey I would sign it.
