Stop for me, it's the claw!

I wrote to some Liberal MPs about their opposition to gay marriage a couple of weeks ago and one wrote back to me - this was my email.
I posted:Dear Don Randall,
My name is *** Atkinson, I have been a resident of *** for 9+ years, my family has operated a business within *** for over 40 years; we are all firm believers in equality for all and see the right to marry a loved one regardless of gender or sexual preference (especially in a developed nation such as Australia) as a basic social right.
Many of my friends and acquaintances are homosexual or otherwise inclined to want to be involved with a person of the same sex - it pains me greatly to know that these people who are all proud, kind, caring and contributing members to society (a number of them within the *** district!) should be denied the same rights you, me, or our families, might take for granted.
It is especially important to give these individuals such rights because it puts them on the same social platform as other straight/cis-gendered individuals thus showing to current and future generations that being homosexual, bisexual, etc makes you an equally respected member of society and that your contributions and existence are just as meaningful as those who are not.
I urge you to do what is right and, judging by current trends, what the Australian people want, by supporting marriage equality.
It is comforting to know that some of them read this stuff.
