This is a number of issues that need to be fixed and this is just one of many...
I do wonder though if there was a vote on same sex marriage that was supposed secret ballot, how many people would vote against same sex marriage, Ilis there a higher proportion of people who would vote against than the polls indicate because they can vote without being labelled as a redneck, bigot etc Etc...
Interesting question and I think your views on it sum it up. A Christian man who has no issues with SSM, suggests people like me who don't identify as being of faith and a small portion of those that do can't see the problem. I think it would get across in a landslide. That being one reason, the other being a message from Joe Public to the pollies to stop ******* around and get on with it.
Pretty simple, come up with a suitable name besides marriage, the Christians, the non Christians, the lovers, the fighters, the left, the right, the middle, will all be happy and it wont cost a cent.
You can already get married in a non religious civil ceremony
