It won't be long now for Australia I think. I'd almost say I reckon gay couples here could start planning for a summer wedding. The mood has really shifted since the Irish vote. First the Prime Minister has to allow ministers a conscience vote, rather than sticking to party policy. Then there should enough votes in favour of marriage equality. More and more ministers are saying they're now in support, and the PM's tone has softened. Ironically, our conservative PM is not in favour of marriage equality but his sister is gay and engaged to her girlfriend!
