"Can you believe that we don't allow same-sex couples to get married? It happens all around the world. Not just where you expect like Holland and Sweden. But places like Spain and South Africa. It makes Australia look a little behind.
Society says its fine for gays to tailor your wedding suit, chauffeur you, co-ordinate the reception, even stand up and declare you man and wife. But my gay friends aren't stereotypes, they're real people with real hearts and their love for their partners is just as precious as the love between a man and a woman. And they want to get married for exactly the same reasons as everyone else does. They're in love. They want to make a commitment to each other.
I don't see how allowing same-sex couples to get married hurts anyone else. Marriage brings so much joy, not to mention for families and friends. Every mum wants to see her son or daughter get married. It shouldn't make any difference if her kid's gay. And what about the kids raised by gay people? They deserve the stability that comes with marriage, just like all Aussie kids. All of us benefit when there's a bit more love in the world."
Rob Mills, Singer (1982-Present)
