Those in civilised countries, who said ‘Yes’ some time ago, wondered what I was on about when I posted this to my FB feed.

I shouldn’t say it like that. Australia is civilised. Of course it is. But sometimes I wonder, when we have taken so long to essentially give a fundamental right to a human being, or actually a couple of them.

Love is love. The heart wants what the heart wants.

It’s simple really.

I don’t understand bigot and discrimination very well I’m afraid.

I don’t understand why we can’t just accept and let others live their lives to the best of their ability.

From where I sit, it appeared a lot of the No’s, came from a moral stance associated with religious beliefs.

I don’t understand why it’s necessary to force your interpretation of the Bible and its teaching onto others.

So much I don’t understand.

What I do understand is my religious upbringing, my interpretation.

Love, acceptance, forgiveness, kindness.

I was proud of my fellow Australians this week.

I hope our government shoots this legislation through.

I’m sure I have a wedding or two to go to.
