Australia: Martyr complex among "no" voters
November 20, 2017 at 10:32 am
If you think Americans have it bad, we have to deal with similar bullshit here in Australia. Last night on an Australian talk show, a politician by the name of Jacqui Lambie had this to say in defense of those who voted (or would have) voted "no" to same sex marriage.

Such meanies "yes" voters are, not giving a care about how bigots feel. How dare Australia voted for equality and love and respect and commitment for same sex couples! :'(

FTR, in case you still didn't know, Australia recently voted "yes" via official postal survey to same sex marriage (around 60% of those who voted voted yes, and around 80% elected to vote at all), and in response, the Parliament will do its best to get it legalized soon. So some people are not really happy about this.
