>We are basically the last Western nation (except for Japan/SK) that would legalize same-sex marriage
I honestly didn't expect this too happen
I certainly didn't expect the USA to get it before Australia
What's up with us? We are barely religious, most white people in Australia hate religion anyway, and there aren't enough non-white Christians for them to make a difference
i don't get why people even accept the idea of getting a license for marriage from the state, anyhow.
you license pets, not relationships among people.
marriage is also a religious rite, and you don't likewise get a license to take communion. therefore, a marriage license is sacrilege.
>Japan/SK
>Western
are you fucking retarded
Because it would mean changing our constitution. Most people don't give enough of a shit about gay marriage to do that.

Because we don't give a shit.

I'm pretty sure we legalized faggot marriage in 2013 AUS. We're cucks.
Penny Wong was pissing and whining about the plebiscite today saying it "gives a platform for hate speech" simply because she thinks her views should be rammed down people's throats.
I actually don't care (so defacto support) gay marriage but acting like this just makes people who hate you say "See? they're fuckheads".
Oh well, we'll see how the muslims handle things in a few generations.

Marriage is about starting a family with someone. Gays can't do that.
Countries that have legalized gay marriage are literally wrong.

This is probably the biggest reason
ACT even legalized gay marriage, then the high court overturned it because changing laws regarding marriage should be done by the federal government not state. And going through that route would require fucking around with the Constitution
