It's been in the news lately. No, not the problems with North Korea - well, yeah that, but other things closer to home.
In Australia, the Federal Government can't make up its mind about whether to let gay people get married or not.
So, they've dumped the decision onto the rest of us citizens; thinking that this postal voting system is going to work out.
I gotta say: this is the dumbest thing I've ever come across.
Exactly since when does my opinion matter when it comes to the affairs of the love between two people I don't know? And since when does my nation of fellow Australians think it's up to them to say whether gay and lesbians should be 'permitted' to marry?
Isn't love the same no matter who you love - man or woman?
Making us vote on this kind of thing is a waste of tax-payers time and money; and I don't see the point in making gay and lesbian people feel as though they're on the outer of our society because they don't fit the mold of the ordinary family.
Besides, there's no such thing as an ordinary family anymore; so why should it really matter who marries who? So long you're not related to the person you're marrying - you know, you're not first cousins - that's what matters.
I don't appreciate being pushed into making decisions by my government about who is allowed to get married and who isn't. Why doesn't the government concentrate on the people who call themselves parents when really they're screwing up their children's lives by being on drugs, being drunks and having mental problems which really stuff up their children? This is what needs to be looked into, not whether two people who love each other dearly, have become engaged for some years now, but can't get married within the country they live in because it's against the law.
And when they just don't wish to wait any longer? Well, they jump on a plane and fly to a country where they've legalised gay marriage for years - and it's worked out well - and tie the knot there!
Love is love people... is this such a bad thing?
I think not!
