Australian equality


Congratulations and well done Australia! I agree with the majority vote just held there. Equality means everyone being treated the same, despite the delusions your religious brothers and sisters seem to wish to assert or impose (without a single shred of humanity, reason or evidence). 

Slowly this world is becoming a more tolerant place, usually in the teeth of opposition from people whose perspectives rest upon centuries of indoctrinated superstition, myth and toxic cultural conventions. Australia won a small victory yesterday but unfortunately the UK at the moment seems to be travelling against this arc of progress. But, I'm an optimist, I have confidence that we'll come around again soon, progress is never a straight line and we just need some strong secular, rational leadership, we're certainly overdue some.
