Not what everyone really wants or should have, but progress. And as gays come out of the closet more and more, the general populace will discover that gay people are ordinary decent people, and the walls of homophobia will come tumbling down. And the churches that propagate that crime before God will find themselves preaching to the dust in the pews, and the dust of their departed, who the church poisoned. This is progress.

And the churches that propagate that crime before God will find themselves preaching to the dust in the pews, and the dust of their departed, who the church poisoned.

This is not about equality. The government's own budget papers reveal that taxing same sex couples just like married ones (except with out the marriage, go figure...) means a big tax profit. The 2008 Budget papers state that same sex law reform measures are "... expected to result in net savings of $66.0 million over four years." We can't get marries but we sure as hell can get TAXED!! Even worse, same sex couples will not get to choose whether to be treated as singles or couples for this purpose... something to think about before you move in with the boyfriend!
