Gay Marriage. Seriously, can we not just move right along and get this show on the road.

Whether you 'believe' in gay marriage or not, let me get straight to the point of this post.

There are more important things for our politicians to be worrying about than whose marrying who.

Let's be perfectly honest. Gay marriage is NOT going to ruin the sanctity of marriage. Heterosexual people have done a good enough job of that themselves. It's a totally ridiculous argument in the defense of denying people equal rights.

The simple fact of the matter is that whether you think homosexuality is 'wrong' or 'right', every person deserves equal rights under the law, and equal protection from discrimination. I don't understand why that is so hard for people to get.

The time and effort that has been spent debating something in parliament that should really just be a non-issue is, to be frank, fucking ridiculous. To be honest, a lot of the time and effort that is spent in parliament on things that should be a non-issue is fucking ridiculous but that's another post for another time.

There are so many other things that politicians should be focusing their time and energy on. Healthcare, education, infrastructure. If they would just stop being such dickheads, just pass the bill to give equality to all in regards to marriage, then they could spend a bit more time focusing on some of those other things that concern everyone, and prove themselves to be semi-decent people.

I believe that equality is an important issue and one that shouldn't be taken lightly. And that's why I can't believe in 2013 this is still being debated so fiercely by people. Surely we have come far enough in this day and age that politicians can see how stupid it is to deny the equal rights of gay people, regardless of your own personal religion or thoughts on homosexuality. Granting those equal rights is not going to tear the fabric of society, but it will free up time for for politicians to get down to the business of improving this country for all Australians, whether they be gay, straight, whatever!

Legalise this basic human right so that we can all move on and make this country a better place for everyone. Giving marriage rights to gay people is such an easy step and small obstacle to remove on the path to a better Australia for all!
