It's like there are only two political parties in the entire English-speaking world, one of them being the Party of the Screaming Right-On Marxist Polemicists. Although I may be wronging Marxists, for unless I am very mistaken, the Eastern Bloc commies were very solemn and serious about sexual morality, the purity of the young, etc. Well, at least on paper. At any rate Marxism + Really Truly Western Decadence = Shudder.

If they do, I look forward to posts on Facebook from my lefty friends that will go like this:<br /><br />"I'm ashamed to be Australian!"<br />"I can't believe Australia has just chosen to stay behind the rest of the world!"<br />"Shame on you, Australia - racists and h0m0ph0bes!"<br /><br />And so on. If the current government is re-elected, there will be a plebiscite on g@y m@rri@ge (if the other party wins, another pro-g@y m@rri@ge Bill will be presented to the parliament and it's very likely both houses would push it through.) So if we get a g@y m@rri@ge plebiscite and Australians vote to keep the current Marriage Act in place, my newsfeed will explode with lefties screaming about intolerance.<br /><br />It will be glorious.
