LDP For Gay Marriage, Not Just Guns
Jul 14^th, 2014 at 6:34am

Quote:

Liberal Democratic Party Senator David Leyonhjelm has announced his intention to introduce a private member's bill to legalise same-sex marriage...

...Senator Leyonhjelm says on Tuesday he will publicly confirm plans to introduce similar legislation, and is hoping Coalition MPs will be granted a conscience vote on the issue.

"I've discussed this issue with a couple of Coalition senators and I don't think that's an insurmountable obstacle, but yes that is the situation at the moment," Senator Leyonhjelm said...

Backing one position of LDP doesn't equate to backing all positions held.

Marriage equality = a sophistication that Libs and Labor seem to have a difficulty over.
