Title: Re: Yes! Post by greggerypeccary on Nov 15th, 2017 at 9:08am Australia says YES! The Australian people have voted. Same-sex marriage will be legalised in Australia by Christmas if the Turnbull Government sticks to its promise. The official results are emphatic: 61.6 per cent of all Australians voted to change the law. Every state and territory voted Yes. Only 17 electorates in the whole country voted No. |

Bojack.....I want you to know something. I'm so glad and proud of the fact that I stood up for myself and voted NO. I'll never EVER back down when it comes to standing up for what I believe in....and what I believe in is the Word of God. I love the pure and holy words of the Holy Bible which I'm prepared to stand up for and die for too. In fact since the time of Christ onwards.....so many Christians have been mocked/taunted and murdered for standing up for what they believe in ie the principles as espoused within The Holy Bible. I don't expect to experience anything different. I will die holding onto and believing in the Holy Bible no matter what. And I will never compromise its values. And I don't care if my stance will cost me my life here on this pitiful, filthy subversive and much abused planet. In fact I fully expect that it will. Ok...you got that? Good. |

Post by greggerypeccary on Nov 15th, 2017 at 10:01am "Western Australians have voted above the national average in support of same-sex marriage, with more than 1.2 million people across the state taking part in the postal survey." Perth's western suburbs deliver strongest yes vote in WA "Western Australia recorded the second highest yes vote in the nation with 63.7 per cent, compared to 36.3 per cent who ticked no. "Residents in the federal electorate of Curtin were most likely to vote yes, with 72.2 per cent voting in favour of marriage equality. "The electorate includes Perth's western suburbs. "The no vote was highest in the electorate of O'Connor, with 43.8 per cent of the vote.
