The campaign for same sex marriage / marriage equality in Australia is building momentum rapidly.
It's fantastic! I can't wait for this to be achieved.
As a by product, I think this campaign and the constant presence of this issue in the news is doing a lot of good for attitudes to gays here. Australian society will become more familiar with and accepting of gays as a result of this campaign.
Here's the site for the campaign in Australia: http://www.australianmarriageequality.com
How beautiful is this viral ad? (From: http://www.getup.org.au/campaigns/marri ... -and-share (http://www.getup.org.au/campaigns/marriage-equality/petition/sign-and-share)

It shows so beautifully, the average week in the life of a gay couple in Sydney... chilling out after work, going out on the weekend, going to the beach, visiting the family, going shopping... so nice!
Really easy for average Australians to relate to. Love it!

Last week, a popular comedian came out publicly in the news.
