Is gay marriage legal in your country?
-
The way the current and hopeless Federal Government is here in Australia, I cannot see it becoming legal any time soon to be honest Despite the majority of the populations saying YES, the Government asks for, and keeps delaying, a plebasite (not sure of spelling sorry) that basically will be biased against legalising gay marriage anyway. The voters here, and the other political parties, have all said NO to this, the plebecite thing, but the Government insists that this is what the voters want. This is going to cost the current Government a huge amount of money to hold, and in view of the current financial state or our country, well why do they want to waste more money when it could have been done, and should have been done by parliament decree or something, a long time ago. Hmm…go figure.
It makes me wonder why they keep delaying this issue, and then it disappears for a little while then it is brought back into the public eyes, and it all starts over again....
Why don't politicians listen to the voters, and just stop being hypocrites, and just get it done so we can have the same ceremony as the rest of the community?
Proud to be gay in Australia? Yeh right, I can't marry the man I want and he can't marry me, and yet if we were to live together, various Government departments recognise us as a co-habiting "couple", although that is only for their own monetary controls.
That's my opinion, so YES, let's get some sense into the whole equality issue, and just legalise same sex marriage here in Australia !! -
yes
-
of course not

It is not in Turkey, and it looks like it will never be

For women we were the first country in the world to give women the vote.
Sorry but New Zealand beat us to it in 1893, we were close behind in 1894 though.
And as for Same Sex Marriage in Australia, we'll find out on Wednesday I guess. I'll be glad when this shit show of a plebiscite is over.

Canada has the weird position that we had the first legally recognized same-sex marriages that predate our government recognizing same-sex marriage. Our fight was led by the MCCT (Metropolitan Community Church of Toronto) under Reverend Brent Hawkes performing marriages under a loop-hole in the law then fighting for years to have the weddings recognized.
I live in Toronto and know some of the people involved in the fight - including Rev. Brent Hawkes. I belong to one of the first synagogues in Canada to perform same-sex weddings.

Unfortunately gay marriage or civil unions are not legal in Romania. :hapgay:

As of recently, yes. Australia finally jumped aboard the Equality Bandwagon.

Congratulations to Australia.

Congratulations to Australia.
Although I didn't like the feeling that more than a third of the country wanted me to be a second class citizen, I'll try to remain positive and remember that Love Won in the end. Next stop, LGBT adoption rights…

Taiwan has allowed gay marriage as of 2018. Becoming the first asian country to do so.
-
Romania still refuse to aknowledge this right to gay people. There are a couple of legal actions taking place, but right now we don t exist in our law' s perspective.

Yes, in Spain is has been legal since 2005. Spain was one of the first countries in Europe to legalize gay marriage and the third in the world by that time.
Very proud of my country in that respect:

Nope, just civil unions in Greece as far as I recall.

I have nothing against gay marriage, if you feel like it, then go, but I don't think it will be allowed in our country. Maybe not in my lifetime.

Why not? May things not change in your country to allow gay marriage?

We are a deeply religious country inspite of the social media age. It will be pass in our congress but I doubt it will get a yes vote.
Maybe many, many, many years from now but not in the near future.
