What I like about the article is that it isn't written to sway the firm and distorted views of gay-marriage lobbyists (it just infuriates them... ha). Rather it is written for the vast majority of young people in Australia who really don't know much about this issue and don't have any strong reasons to support either side of the debate. By attacking the groupthink attitude as a weak basis for supporting the re-definition of 'marriage' you have influenced any fence-sitters to consider what they actually believe, how this belief has been formed (by media, education, or the cop-out groupthink mentality) and most importantly how much more there is to know about the issue itself and the short and long term ramifications of making any changes to the current working definition.
I don't think all of gen 'Y' is for gay marriage. More likely they just don't care...
