From ABCNews.com
About 58 percent of voters favored increased rights for same-sex couples, meaning that registered same-sex couples are treated the same as married couples for tax and pension purposes.
They would not, however, be allowed to adopt or undergo fertility treatment.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

It has two formalities left to clear. It has to pass a more than non binding vote in the Senate, then it has to be given Royal Assent, and, oh Damn!, it needs to be proclaimed.
Three! Three formalities to clear.
They may be formalities, however, if something unfortunate happened to Mr. Martin's government prior to the last step, the whole show would be back at square one.(\__/)

Gay marriage says that it is the same thing for a man to be married to a man, as it is for a man to be married to a woman. One of the assumptions behind this is that men and women are fundamentally the same.
Does this make any sense at all to you?
A man is as much 'the same as a woman' as he is another man, at least in terms of human rights.
I fail to see why anatomical differences between males and females decides who gets married and why.
Perhaps you imagine that possession of a penis is a good argument for the discrepancies between wages and salaries for men and women performing the same tasks in the same environments.
If that's your level of thinking, then presumably you don't believe people with intersex conditions should be married at all, and transsexuals should also only be able to marry people of the sex opposite to the one they may have started out as- regardless of their sexual needs.
All you're doing is attempting to sidestep the origins for your opposition to lesbian and gay marriage, ignore previous historical/cultural rationales for marriage (property, inheritance, establishing a dynasty) and hide behind a bogus front of pseudo'rational' opposition.
It smells as rank and foetid as Creationists pretending to be scientists.

Off-topic;
Why is it that according to my experiences gay men are much more fun than gay women who tend to keep by themselves or bitc h around. Gay men on the otherhand are the best people to party and hang around with. Have you had similar experiences? Do many lesbians really hate men? Or am I just being silly here.Last edited by laurentius; July 2, 2005, 21:44.Que l’Univers n’est qu’un défaut dans la pureté de Non-être.

Some hate women who are not lesbian. The term 'breeder' is used with some derision. I am sure there are some who hate men, just as there are some men who hate women.(\__/)

I am acquainted with some gays who are derisive of straight men who like to hang out at a dance club that also happens to be a gay nightclub. So we sometimes think of that place as a mixed nightclub but some gays I know do not like that.A lot of Republicans are not racist, but a lot of racists are Republican.Comment
