Whatever happens from here, whatever court challenge Tony Abbott launches against it, this is an historic day for Australia. For the very first time in our history, it is now legal for gays to be married within the borders of our own country, albeit as yet just in the Australian Capital Territory. Nothing that Abbott does from here will take away the fact that the first state/territory in Australia has stood up and said that the love I have for David as just as real as the love I had for my wife.
GAY and lesbian couples will be able to wed in the ACT after a bill to legalise same-sex marriage passed the territory's Legislative Assembly.
People in the public gallery clapped and sang Love Is In The Air when the bill passed shortly before midday on Tuesday.
The first marriages are likely to take place from December. - See more
