honestly, watching these hateful bigots cry about their own tactic backfiring on them is the closest thing we have to schadenfreude up to this point

on wednesday i am wearing a rainbow tie and rainbow sunglasses and rainbow umbrella and rainbow shoelaces to work, and anyone who moans can fuck themselves in the face

not that i expect anyone at my work to object, the ceo and every single person who matters is vocally and aggressively pro-equality
― rove mcmanus island (Autumn Almanac), Saturday, 11 November 2017 07:01 (six years ago) link
if they're really so pro-equality they'll fuck themselves in the face anyway then

btw re this:
# Is the bill in its final form?No. It's still a draft and is open to consultation.# So how do you know what's in it? Will it be real equality, or will it be full of exemptions to protect bigots? Will it accommodate trans and intersex people?We don't know.# Will it be finalised before the survey commences?It doesn't look likely.

61.6% now we can start arguing about who has the right to buy a cake from whom.
― American Fear of Pranksterism (Ed), Tuesday, 14 November 2017 23:05 (six years ago) link
not to be a debbie downer but 38.4% voting no still seems...very dismaying for someone in a queer little bubble
But I'll take what I can get. Hopefully a gif of Lyle Shelton or Tony Abbott crying shows up on the internet soon

someone like me* I should say
― monotony, Tuesday, 14 November 2017 23:16 (six years ago) link
overall 61.6% is pretty good, though. I remember when prop 8 passed in california I read that 25% of residents of San Francisco voted for it. that's not a lot, but it still shocked me. I remember looking around when I would go out, thinking that 1 out of 4 people believed that my already-granted right to marriage should be taken away

spare a thought please for all those poor bakers who will have to make cakes for people they dislike
― rove mcmanus island (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 14 November 2017 23:33 (six years ago) link
61% is lower than I'dve expected/liked, but my experience growing up, if we'd done this in the 80s it would have been at least in reverse. A lot has changed in the last 10 years and the country towns change a lot more slow.

Blaxland in NSW the most anti, and most of western Sydney resolutely against. Maybe greater proportions of Catholics? Seems to be what the census map of religion shows.
― attention vampire (MatthewK), Wednesday, 15 November 2017 00:27 (six years ago) link
More like greater proportions of non-Caucasians with traditional ideas about marriage, I'd say.
― Zelda Zonk, Wednesday, 15 November 2017 00:33 (six years ago) link
A little close to generalising about non-Caucasians there, I’d be a touch more comfortable ascribing it to religious relief.

*belief, sorry
― attention vampire (MatthewK), Wednesday, 15 November 2017 00:39 (six years ago) link
yes, I think religion plays a huge role
― Dan S, Wednesday, 15 November 2017 00:40 (six years ago) link
Yeah you're right. Blaxland is 20% Muslim and I imagine the yes vote was fairly low in Muslim communities. And I'm guessing that's generally why the yes vote was depressed in Western Sydney.

61% is lower than I'dve expected/likedgiven bigots lied wholesale and some major religious orgs actively instructed their people to oppose it, it’s a pretty good result tbh. but yes, it should have been 100%.

And still that fundamental obscenity which is a governmentally endorsed vote by the community on whether to magnanimously grant a basic human right to a long-repressed and ostracised minority.

one big positive from today is that the electorates/states of a lot of the strongest LNP homophobes (Abbott, Andrews, Christensen, Abetz, Morrison et al) all came back with a majority yes

I reside in Batman, electorate-wise. I'm not sure how the names of electorates get decided but they aren't geographic.
