It's funny how Spain, a country considered by many as a cripplingly catholic third world shithole, was actually one of the first places to recognize faggot marriage. Many Very Progressive countries are still struggling with the concept.
Both sides seem incredibly exceptional in the Australian debate. I thought Aussies were sort of level-headed and not prone to banner waving political ral-![]()

>having abbo family'We accepted you. You're bringing our f***ing country down': Gay marriage supporter rants at immigrant 'No' voters - but insists he's not racist 'because he has Aboriginal family'
The young man with stubble and a black earring was videoed shouting at a man and a woman as they handed out 'It's OK to vote No' pamphlets at Chatswood on Sydney's North Shore.
'I respect equal rights. People like you in this country are what are bringing this f***ing country down,' he says.
'You've come here. We've accepted you into this country.'
'I'm Australian, both my parents are Australian,' he said.
'I've got Aboriginal family. I'm not being racist at all,' he said.
'You're being a f***ing d***head by voting 'No'.'
'F*** you, f*** you. Respect people's rights"

It's helping paint gay people as less of actual human beings and more of savage rapists that will kill you and your family if you deny them the right to marry each other. If you thought it was bad now, just imagine how much worse it would get if the voting result ends up being no.The people doing the whole 'It's not okay to vote no' are hurting their cause pretty badly. This is all about optics and feel-good centre ground bourgeois politics, not ranting in public.

One of the country's top universities has warned maths students not to use the term 'marriage' when referring to a well-known theorem because the word may cause 'offence.'
The theorem was proved by Phillip Hall in 1935 and relies on the standard example of matchmaking men and women to represent two distinct sets.
The move by the University of New South Wales comes as student groups clash on campuses around the country on same sex marriage.
UNSW honours student Sean Lynch told Sky News that his lecturer asked students not to refer to the theorem as Hall's Marriage Theorem in an assignment.
Yeah, guys like Rodney Chrome know what's up, they're building the most photogenic 'love is love' broad kind of coalition that typically wins votes. It's the occasional idiot that stuffs up their campaign. The 'no' vote guys seriously should have considered that Neo-Liberal organisations like Qantas & the AFL would be more than happy to support the YES vote. Who knows, maybe this will shock some conservatives out of the free market dogma.I would honestly have thought the same but I've seen some pretty stupid shit from the 'yes' side lately, too.
The other day some friend of friend shit came up on my FB feed and there were people complaining about the survey being about "same sex marriage" and not including enbys (I shit you not). These turkeys seem not to understand that it's irrelevant to the issue at hand - legalising SSM will entail removing references to gender altogether (as it was before 2004), so it will include all kinds of special snowflake marriages. If they really want to expand the debate to trans/enby marriages because they don't like gay people getting all of the attention, I guarantee they will lose a non-trivial amount of "yes" votes by trying to make it about them.
This is it. When you no longer serve their cause, then you're thrown into the basket of hate.
Typical though. What's that, some Cotton On cultural appropriation Asian teeshirt and screeching at people in Chatswood, home of the Christian Gook population? Beautiful.
Tony Abbott can't be so bad either. His daughter is supporting the Yes campaign and he hasn't had her "literally murdered" yet.
People keep forgetting this is a survey and not ride or die.

hey can be undone by anarchist fuckwits with industrial piercings headbutting a former PM. He might not have been a formal part of the yes campaign, but every single media article I came across mentioned that he supported SSM and it was easy to portray him in a "this is the kind of person who votes yes" light.
Why are you people arguing over this when every spider, snake, dingo, and kangaroo on your prison island is out for human blood
Aka a big part of why Trump won.Do these fucking idiots realize if you tell people they can't do something that you can't stop them from doing, they'll do it out of spite just because fuck you?
NRL Grand Final viewers react after No to SSM campaign ad airs after Macklemore sings Same Love

Rejected 'no' ad to be aired during NRL final
VIEWERS have reacted after they saw Macklemore finally sing Same Love — and Channel Nine ran an ad for the No campaign straight after it.
The American rapper had many Australians behind him after he took to the stage at the NRL Grand Final and sang his hit song — which has been at the centre of controversy for the past week.
Despite the heated debate around the song choice, he did not let it stop him from performing the marriage quality anthem.
But the decision to air a TV advertisement for the No campaign immediately after Macklemore’s song on Channel Nine has viewers scratching their heads with confusion.
The Coalition for Marriage ad had many on social media talking.
While some say it did not affect their viewing of the rugby league match or Macklemore’s performance, others criticised Channel Nine for letting the ad air right after his live act.
It comes after a new TV ad by the ‘No’ same-sex marriage campaign was approved to run during the NRL Grand Final broadcast.
According to Sky News, the advertisement was not run during the Richmond v Adelaide AFL Grand Final clash after it was classified M due to its contents.
This ad did not appear to air during the NRL Grand Final match between the North Queensland Cowboys and Melbourne Storm.
The ad features abusive social media messages the Coalition for Marriage says it has received from ‘Yes’ campaigners on social media since the postal survey campaign over same-sex marriage began.
The ruling was made by CAD, the television industry body responsible for classifying advertisements.

Running that awful “no” ad right after the glorious @macklemore moment might elicit the #BernardiEffect: unexpected good from bad intentions https://t.co/U6WswGk5sJ

Of course channel 9 played the vote no ad straight after

A great song. Now followed by a no ad. Thanks @Channel9 @NRL way to undo the good.

It was all great until channel 9 played the coalition for marriage's awful no ad IMMEDIATELY after the performance. Bigots will be pleased.

Fuck me, mate, I went through the rest of the memes there, they're some of the most worthless unfunny memes I've ever seen, even the cirno-poster & the ' tfw no bf' twats on /bant/ are better than this.
