Gay Marriage still is not on the cards here in Australia with our Prime Minister and people in his Parliament stating yet again that it’s not going to happen, but Kevin Rudd is still maintaining his promise to equalise legislation for those in same sex relationships.
Our Senate passed amendments to family, taxation and health laws so that homosexual couples have the same access to services as married, de-facto and common law couples. It’s a great step, but I’d love to see gay marriage legalised. I don’t want the religious connotations but the total commitment and legal aspects that marriage offers.

Pretty pathetic that the only mention of it here in Australia is a transcript from an interview on a radio-station website. If the New York Times can comment on Australian law, you’d think News Corp could too.
I couldn’t agree more! But I also want to know… where is that pic from?!?!????? :)))
A struggle, ongoing though. Funny how people actually have to fight for civil/human rights. Odd.
Hope you guys get it soon, we have had gay marriage in Canada for quite a while now, and most people I think have come to realize that the world didn’t come to an end lol
Congratulations on this step, Australia!
Very relevant photo. Who’s beautiful butts are we looking at?
