Gay marriage is an issue that most legislators would like to avoid.
Tht's more or less the reason I'd like to see it pass through parliment. I want people to understand why it's necessary, and acknowledge that reality, knowing that the government endorses the action...Rather than have it thrown on them, and resent that fact.
It does nothing if you can get married, only to face discrimination when filling out a form (ei: the marriage status box on an application). Society needs to understand the reasoning for it, and accept it....otherwise it's all for naught.
