and say while I am a fervent supporter of gay marriage (duh, been dreaming about my wedding to the gf and getting into conniptions over where we're gonna honeymoon for YEARS now) I can sorta see why she didn't I mean, it's an issue over here, but since religion isn't as ingrained in our politics as it is in other countries, most de facto gay couples (like yours truly) have pretty much the same rights as de facto straight couples, and the stuff we don't have is mostly financial as opposed to basic need for safety and not being harrassed by bible-thumpers and such in the streets. And we have bigger fish to fry as well, e.g. boatpeople. So while I don't agree with it, and think that if she showed off that steel spine of hers which lurks somewhere beneath the ranga hair and actually said fuck it, gay marriage, do what you want, she'd earn like 1000% of the gay vote overnight, I sorta see where she's coming from even if I don't like it. At least she gave her party a conscience vote because while she personally doesn't support it, she acknowledges that her personal opinions should not dictate party line, and gave everyone the choice to vote it into their policies, which it now is, and that's pretty fucking decent of her. Unlike Abbott, aka Mad Monk, whose sister is gay and he still won't give his party a conscience vote at ALL, the fucker.
...lets not and say we did ne?
BUT LOOK AT THAT RAGE ON HER FACE I JUST ABOUT PISSED MYSELF LAUGHING WATCHING HER TEAR STRIPS OFF ABBOTT FUCK YEAH JULIA CAESER
