I'd rather have Jason than John, but at least John voted for a change to policy.

What's more important? Standing up to the principle that the relationships of others should not be under public scrutiny and boycotting, or denying the bigots validation.

Seems like boycotting it would achieve both of these things though.

If there is a boycott, a NO result is more likely. That's where the validation comes from.

No matter what the result is those people are going to argue that it has vindicated their position. Even if it's a landslide in favour of SSM they'll still argue that it has 'exposed significant differences of opinion in the community and highlighted the need for a cautious approach' or whatever.

Are you talking about the bigots in parliament, or the bigots in the wider community. I was talking about the latter.

Basically, everyone involved in buying property are total and complete morons.

When I was working indirectly in mortgage finance (online application software), this was the case. Brokers were idiots. Banks were idiots. .

But changing the Marriage Act is going to affect everybody.

These loving weasel arguments. It's only been like this for 13 years.
