Democracy wins: Australia says yes to gay marriage
by Anorak | 15th, November 2017
Australians approve of gay marriage. Australian voters gave a thumbs up to same-sex marriage, with 61.6% voting for and 31% voting against. Turn out for the postal vote was high: just shy of 79% of eligible voters (12 million people) took part in the voluntary referendum.
Voters were asked to reply Yes or No response to the question: “Should the marriage law should be changed to allow same-sex couples to marry?”
It is another triumph for democracy. The people have had their say. Now get on with it.
