This postal vote opinion poll on marriage equality might be an insane and frankly insulting waste of everybody’s time, but the tiny, titchy upside to it is the overwhelming support for same-sex marriage to (finally) be legalised.
Small businesses, governmental departments and even churches around the country are throwing their support in for LGBTQIA folks to enjoy the same freedoms the damn heterosexuals get.
We’ve rounded up the best signs from around the country, but if you still haven’t enrolled or still need to check your details, do so (asap) HERE: https://check.aec.gov.au/
