    i am 16 years old and i am bullied constantly for being gay i believe that one of the reasons myself and many other young gay people are treated this way is because same sex marriage is not legal. by saying that our relationships are different to yours and are some how illegitimate fuels peoples hatred i have been abused verbally and physically just last week i was lit on fire for being gay i have had food and rocks thrown at me and been spat on. gay marriage should be legalised. it is a civil rights issue nothing else. and furthermore, civil Rights aren't meant to be voted on that is why they are called RIGHTS. i should be happy to have this debate with anyone it needs to be made known it affects young people as well.

    No to same sex marriages. Turns my stomach. Sick of Homosexuals ramming down my throat that they want rights, you will never be excepted into society never. Doesn't matter how many so called rights they want, society will never except you 100%.

    If there is a same sex couple wanting to get married then let them. Just because some people do not want to allow them to do this doesn't mean that they will change their orientation. A father & daughter in a country town were allowed to breed & it is now forgotten but same sex couples in a relationship seems to be taboo for some reason.

    having just recently moved to a country victorian town from the city, i am seeing what i thought was dead in this country. homophobia, racism, sexism! it all lives! i am ashamed to be a part of this community and will be moving back to the city asap. (i think the clincher was when the head of the apprenticeship board told a "joke" about an apprentice wanting to be moved from here because there wasnt enough gay men....to which he replied "get the bloody hell outta here") i feel so sorry for same sex couples in this country, especially in the more rural regions. :(
