To all those people who still believe that gay marriage is a disaster and the destruction of the world's order... listen up. Below is the speech given by a NZ lawmaker during the Third Reading of the Marriage (Definition of Marriage) Amendment Bill.
Maurice Williamson, a minister in the conservative National Party government, joked ahead of Wednesday's vote that he had seen "the most enormous big gay rainbow" over his electorate and taken it as a sign to back the change.
And I do believe what Minister Williamson said that if this gets passed into law, "The sun will still rise tomorrow... you will not have skin diseases, or rashes, or toads in your bed, the world will just carry on. So don't make this into a big deal."
Two words for this speech... "SIMPLY BRILLIANT!"
***Oh btw, last 17 April 2013, New Zealand became the 13th country in the world to legalize same-sex marriage today after their parliament easily approved an amendment to their 1955 marriage laws. The country is the first in the Asia-Pacific region to allow gays and lesbians to walk down the aisle. Hooray! for New Zealand. Hooray! for gender equality and gay marriage.
