"Are gay people people? y/n": The Australian Marriage Equality Voluntary Postal Survey Thread

that would not surprise me tbh

Legal Experts Say The Govt Definitely Fucked Up Their Postal Survey

Is the prime minister of Australia still someone named "Kevin"?

He was Prime Minister from 27th June 2013 until 18th September 2013

Though that was his second-go-round

every state and territory premier/first minister supports marriage equality. the prime minister too (i call bullshit on that but at least he claims to). so the only leader currently in power who doesn't support marriage equality is actually a kiwi.

and therefore, ironically, is the only leader who could marry a partner of the same sex if he so chose. (Said yesterday but worth saying again)

ironic then that the only nationwide political leader who opposes marriage equality is the only one who's allowed to do it by citizenship

it's pretty ironic that Barnaby Joyce could marry a man if he wanted to, when he's the only national political leader actively barring other people from doing so, don't you think

You know what's ironic? Joyce is the only leader who could get gay-married, but unlike the others he hates the gays!

so it's ironic that he can marry a man even though he's opposed to it in his capacity as a political leader

it's pretty ironic that Barnaby Joyce's head kinda looks like a kiwifruit

(as kiwifruits aren't native to New Zealand)

BuzzFeed News: If we change the marriage laws in Australia that it could lead eventually to people being able to marry objects such as… the Harbour Bridge?

Abetz: Why not? Why not.

stop this sexually irresistible merry-go-round i want to get off

In Australia it is not legal to marry an object and no one has ever proposed that it should be legalised.

rip australia

rip australia

If only Australia had died right then - we would have been spared pauline hanson wearing burqa in the senate

good to see john clarke is still writing material from the afterlife

i was hoping it was one of those people-sized bags magicians use & she was going to make herself disappear

fuckin UGH i hate that pinchfaced hag so much

amazing that 'MP claims people want to marry a bridge' was only the dumbest thing happening in this country for about thirty minutes.

If I'd supplied a burqua for Hanson I would have made it airtight.

went to the melbourne rally yesterday. estimates of 20,000+ are otm, it was properly enormous. i've never seen even half that many at a rally. it took just under half an hour for the march to funnel through one junction.

before the march started an old guy came up to about 30 of us and yelled that we were going to bleed in hell or some shit. then he threw his coffee at us and i lost my shit and screamed back at him (i have never ever done this before btw). he turned and charged right at me, and my 70 year old mother-in-law pulled me back. police chased him down the street and we never saw him again.

I was amused by the coverage yesterday that suggested that liberals in marginal seats are not altogether thrilled by the addition of 100,000 people to the electoral role (and many more updating their details) in a country with compulsory voting.

yeah, and both major parties might pitch to young people for a change

Nah young people aren't WORKING FAMILIES what are you talking about only WORKING FAMILIES matter, m9.

HARDWORKING FAMILIES OF MUMS AND DADS

WORKING FAMILIES...

apropos of nothing but eric abetz went to the trouble of blocking me on Twitter last night because I accused him of supporting Kaiser Wilhelm II

that actually is hilarious

our land is girt by fkn idiots

"I want to take my boys to watch the footy and I don't want the betting ads jammed down their throat, I don't want the gay marriage message jammed down their throat at the football,"

honestly, watching these hateful bigots cry about their own tactic backfiring on them is the closest thing we have to schadenfreude up to this point

pauline hanson demanding johnny farnham = vmic

on wednesday i am wearing a rainbow tie and rainbow sunglasses and rainbow umbrella and rainbow shoelaces to work, and anyone who moans can fuck themselves in the face

not that i expect anyone at my work to object, the ceo and every single person who matters is vocally and aggressively pro-equality

if they're really so pro-equality they'll fuck themselves in the face anyway then

...

btw re this:

# Is the bill in its final form?
No. It's still a draft and is open to consultation.

# So how do you know what's in it? Will it be real equality, or will it be full of exemptions to protect bigots? Will it accommodate trans and intersex people?
We don't know.

# Will it be finalised before the survey commences?
It doesn't look likely.

if they're really so pro-equality they'll fuck themselves in the face anyway then

I was amused by AA's jarring 1-second turn from "fuck these people!" to "don't fuck them, they're lovely"
