Today I got a letter in the mail asking me to vote on same sex marriage.
It happened recently in the UK and in the US and now it seems like it's Australia's turn.
Here are a few of the arguments I've heard in my country against same sex marriage. I'm sure most people have heard them already:
1. By definition marriage is between a man and a woman, thus same sex couples cannot get married.
2. It will lead to 1 year olds being raped and murdered. After all, that's the next logical step after allowing same sex marriage.
3. This is an interesting one. I found this one on Australia's version of America's TODAY show.
It will lead to children with same sex parents being bullied at school because that's what kids are like.
