The argument is that if people transition after marriage they may have to divorce because they married as a man and a woman and are now a same sex couple. Whether or not that would actually be the case depends on the specifics of the law, and how it goes in court, but it’s a legitimate concern for some people that just defining marriage as two people avoids

If a man transitions while married to a woman, legally they're forced to divorce as it's now a same-sex union.

Technically the SDA no longer oppose SSM. Their position is still incorrect as they aren't picking a side, but if Labor are blocking it, it's probably more likely that they are old school catholic or something rather than getting heat from the SDA (De Bruyn is still a homophobic gently caress and the SDA are awful)

Especially because even an amicable divorce with no lawyers involved costs a thousand dollars or so, and if I understand it correctly a divorce can't be granted where the couple haven't actually separated.

JBP posted:I don't regularly listen to any particular podcast, but if you're in the market for a lot of funny content, go find the casts of Tony Martin and Ed Kavalee's Get This. Why stop at the casts, go to purehumbug.com and get the full shows (music excerpted except when they did funnies). I have been listening to them for years on my phone when travelling. Just coming to the end of 2007 now. Speaking of Tones, go to childproofpodcast.com that's just started (we're 2 eps in), some great voice acting in it. He's also on Team Effort, one of TWO Ed Kavalee podcasts (he has another, Ed and Ash but he's a new daddy and is a bit busy for that one lately). Podcasts recommended to and by me: Buzzfeed politics, Boonta Vista Socialist Club, Xtra Credit (fan podcast of the Fplus which is also mandatory), Last Podcast On The Left, Well May We Say, Guardian politics podcast, firethirtyeight for all your US nerdy politics needs, I also pod a few ABC radio podcasts, science show, late night live particularly for Laura Tingle, and In Our Time, a BBC history/general brainfood podcast. So after that, Dollop who've just finished an Aussie tour and those podcasts are still coming in. Don't just get the Trump eps, go back and get the Iraq eps, they're stunning. And of course Little Dum Dum Club. I'm beginning to run out of time to listen to it all!

Right-wing provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos has branded former prime minister Julia Gillard “a prick” as he prepares to embark on his speaking tour of Australia. The self-described “one man wrecking crew” and “internet supervillain” hurled the insult — along with plenty of others towards feminists and those on the left-wing of politics — during his first news conference on Australian shores today. After attacking several Australian journalists for cancelling interviews with him, he admitted he was a fan of former Liberal prime minister Tony Abbott but not of Australia’s first female prime minister. “I liked that guy Tony Abbott, I thought he was cool because he was ballsy ... he was up against Julia Gillard who seemed like a complete prick,” Yiannopoulos told reporters. Yiannopoulos added that his experience of Australia was more cultural than political, saying he was a fan of the satirical TV comedy Kath and Kim and “what’s his name who does Dame Edna ... Barry Humphries”. But he still weighed into plenty of political issues, calling on federal politicians debating same-sex marriage laws not to let them pass because there is no constitutional protection for freedom of religious expression and conscience like in the US. “And I say that as a married gay person,” he said. He also praised Australia’s immigration system, described section 18 of the Racial Discrimination Act as “the worst law”, and urged conservative politicians to realise they “have the high moral ground” and should use it to highlight free speech. Yiannopoulos has sold 10,000 tickets for his speaking tour of Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, the Gold Coast and Adelaide. The venues are being kept secret until 24 hours before he appears for the two- hour shows, with Yiannopoulos claiming if he reveals the locations journalists will “invent” stories about protests. One Sydney venue has already been switched, with organisers claiming it was because of security and access issues. The Greens have urged the Senate president to stop Yiannopoulos addressing politicians at parliament house in Canberra next week given his controversial views on women, transgender people and Muslims, as well as his links to neo- Nazis. Yiannopoulos said he was “flattered” by the attempt to have him banned from parliament, but accused the Greens of “casting out the right of free speech”. “I just try to describe the world as I see it ... wrapped up in good jokes,” he said. His speeches on university campuses in the US have sparked violent protests, and he was banned from Twitter last year amid a barrage of racist abuse directed at Ghostbusters star Leslie Jones. The British-born, US-based commentator also lost a book deal after a video emerged in February in which he appeared to suggest it was OK for older men to sleep with young teenage boys. Yiannopoulos branded Twitter’s decision cowardly, and initially said his comments about same-sex relationships between men and boys were taken out of context before eventually issuing an apology.

Milo being allowed to address the Senate whilst having clear and obvious links to the neo nazi movement is just another nail in the coffin for this idiot government and I'm expecting Labor to take advantage of the obviously poo poo optics of that.
