Foxy,

Are you thick or have you been on the Pimms No1 Cup?

You said "61.6% of the Australian population votes YES.

38.4% of the Australian population voted NO"

They didn't, plain and simple; your statement that they did is wrong.

Dear Is Mise,

What on earth is Pimms No 1 cup?

I actually prefer Grey Goose vodka.
It's so smooth and you can mix it so beautifully.

As for my being wrong?

They're not my stats.
They're the Australian Bureau of Statistics.
You can Google them for yourself.
And if you think that the Bureau is wrong -
Well - you tell them, not me.

Paul is another one who doesn't know the difference between a majority of those who voted and the majority of Australians.

Dear Foxy,

The link you provided says:

"To be legally married in Australia, a person must:

*-* six conditions *-*
"

Fine, so that's what it takes to be LEGALLY married and that changed slightly, but if you marry without doing any of the above, then while you would not be recognised by the state as legally-married, your act of marriage would still be legal.

When you do something illegal and you get caught, they throw you in jail, but nobody in Australia had or would have thrown same-sex couples in jail if they were caught marrying in Australia without informing the state authorities. Same-sex couples could have done so in the open at least for decades, they could have had their marriage sanctioned by clergy, they could have had their whole family attend their wedding and no policeman would even squeak about it (unless the celebrating crowd became too rowdy and disturbed the neighbours).

While you cannot for example legally marry you brother in Australia and while it may currently be illegal for you to have sex with him, nobody would charge you with any offence just for setting up a wedding with him, inviting a priest/celebrant to preside over it, exchanging rings and vows and celebrating the occasion with all your family and friends - there is nothing illegal about it, just as there was nothing previously illegal about two people of the same gender marrying each other.

In protest at the diabolical decision of the vast majority of Australians in approving the sexual depravity, that is same sex marriage, the leadership of the 'No Bodies' have agreed that as a protest they will unanimously abstain from all sexual relations with their family pets, goats included, for 24 hours starting at midnight tonight. The holy one however has given a dispensation for group president Bob, to go for it, Bob is legally married to his long time love, Doris the Donkey!

What a bunch of hypocrites!

Equality was not merely about SSM it is about removing Democracy, diversity and opposing opinion to State views, especially the Christian world view.

The Marxists are not attacking Islam! This allows in the nation as the Muslim population grows blasphemy laws and Totalitarian rule. Divide and conquer and allow change in the constitution. Witness Britain, Sweden, and Canada as they move toward Muslim Rule.
