SSM Plebiscite

[kruddler]

The number one reason I believe people will vote NO, will be simply their belief (whether religious or what they consider to be right) that marriage is a union between man and woman. Now to my knowledge people are allowed to feel like that and historical context suggests that this has been the case thought basically every society since the dawn of time.

Which as i said earlier, is based on lies and mistruths.

Their 'belief' may be that, but the reality is far different.

Something i heard on the radio the other day disproved this logic/argument and highlighted the changes that have been made to the marriage act both here and abroad.

As for the debate, in all honesty i don't actively seek it out. But i read on facebook, i hear it on the radio. It might be talked about on the TV. I know its been mentioned on Q+A a few times. That, together with friends/family discussions paints a very different picture to what you have been painting.
Sure, i stay away from news shows, deliberately, and the newspaper. No doubt i've missed a lot of things because of it, but i've also missed a lot of biased reporting in regards to it as well.

As for trying to have this debate among family/friends, there is no debate to have. Everyone is so pro-yes that its not even worth discussing as nobody disagrees with any of it. We don't go campaign for it. We don't force our views on anyone. We are pretty curious as to how anyone could be against it and are pretty gobsmacked that there is even a 'debate' to begin with.
