Australia’s Public Opinion Survey Shows Support for Gay Marriage

Australians participated in a public survey asking if they were in favour of same-sex marriage. The debate had facebook users, private homes and others displaying prominent YES (pro-gay marriage) or NO (anti-gay marriage) frames, signs and posters, and even an LDS chapel was targeted with graffiti for the presumption that all Mormons were against same-sex marriage. The historic vote came in with 61% of Australians in support of these unions, making way for legislation to be introduced in parliament.
