ACT to pass marriage equality

The ACT is all set to pass the first marriage equality law in Australian history on this coming Tuesday.

Australian advocates for same-sex marriage have congratulated the ACT Government for standing firm in the face of threats to intervene in its ability to govern itself. 

‘The ACT is just days away from making history and embracing a reform that has become an aspiration for all Australians that value fairness and equality,’ Australian Marriage Equality deputy director and ACT resident Ivan Hinton said. 

‘From 10am next Tuesday eyes from around the nation and the world will be watching as Canberra becomes the most inclusive place in Australia for same-sex couples. 

‘We know thousands of same-sex couples from across Australia have indicated their interest in marrying in the ACT and these weddings will begin soon after the bill passes, regardless of any Federal Government intervention. 

‘We hope that ACT Liberal MLA's who support the gay and lesbian community will join Labor and the Greens in voting to make history.’ - See more

So the stage will be set. 

Abbott and his morons have already said they'll challenge it in the High Court (can't have those poofs actually getting married darlings). We will have last centuries fossils holding out to the last, versus an unstoppable tide of progress. It's not going to make Abbott look good at all.
