*hissssss* Usually, I LIKE being Australian. Usually, I think Australia is cool. I can even deal with John Howard being priminster, as I have no choice, and even our "special relationship" with the Bush regime. And yes, I mean regime.
However.
Words cannot express how much I hate the Australian government right now, not to mention my own parents. "Oh, gay marriage is BAD! It undermines a sacred institution! They shouldn't marry because they can't have children!"
What about barren couples?
"IVF!"
People who don't WANT children?
"There's always a CHANCE they'll have children."
Why can't gay couples adopt?
"Oh, that's wrong. Poor child."
FOR GOD'S FUCKING SAKE! I HATE FUCKING HUMANITY. I begin to suspect that the Dutch may quite possibly be a more understanding people, as much as the concept horrifies me. I HATE australia, I HATE john howard, I HATE my parents and I FUCKING HATE THE CATHOLIC CHURCH. *kicks wall*
