It is a fundamental right for all to live their lives in accordance with personal values. It is discriminatory to refuse the right for same sex couples to marry or have a recognised legal union. It is the place for governments to put laws in place to protect us against crime and to put policies in place to support minority groups. It is not the place of governments to provide an outdated morality and in fact morality that is religiously based or otherwise this should not be allowed to show it's face in these matters. Homosexuality is not a sickness or depraved. It is not a lifestyle. It has been with us throughout from the beginning of mankind. The notion that theright and respectedfamily has Mum & Dad and 2 children is a notion promoted in the 50's and 60's by American sitcom television. We only need to watch the movie "Pleasantville" to realise this. I trust that the government will endorse same sex unions as other progressive countries in the world and indeed the sensible and mature ACT Government and Tasmanian Govt of Australia.
