I don't know if homosexual couples are getting sex changes specifically to get married, but you can get married if you were once a man and am now a woman, to another man. Because you can legally change your sex, etc.

It's a weird loop hole.
Well, there's problems there, actually, because some state authorities have slightly different standards in how they accept a sex change so traveling between countries and states is hard if you're trans and married. It just takes someone with a stick in their arse to invalidate your marriage, that's why same sex marriage is important to trans persons because it changes it from man + woman to party A + party B.

Something that should be scrapped and replaced with same gender marriages are ALLOWED.

or let's just scrap the whole thing and just have 'marriage' and not pander about on whether there is a separate clause for homosexuals or heterosexuals

Mmmm, I think I'll settle for de facto, thanks.

Oh and this reminds me, anyone who is interested in equal rights should attend the rally tomorrow. We're going to march from townhall to the conference centre and have a mass illegal marriage. It shall be fun!

fighting the good fight...
Do you want to get married, Iron? :shy:

Labor are revising their stance on same sex marriage at the moment as well, with their meeting at the conference centre, so it's all very pertinent!

Labor debates nationwide civil unions - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

The Labor Party national conference may be about to pave the way for national recognition of civil unions.

Delegates to the conference have been negotiating behind closed doors on a push to relax the laws on civil unions and same-sex marriage.

Prime Minister Kevin Rudd is opposed to gay marriage.

Deputy Prime Minister Julia Gillard has told Sky News Labor's policy is still that marriage should be between a man and a woman.

You do know why it's even on the agenda at the conference??
Because us progressive Tasmanians (well the TAS ALP branch, anyway), voted in favour of legalising same sex marriage!

Obama isn't even revising the don't ask don't tell policy, let alone legalising marriage.

It will be a black day if that is ever passed and the party that does it will be poisoned forever. It wont get bipartisan support when the nays stand to win so much

Party of God, woo, who will it be, yeehh

I knoez. A highly closeted friend of mine in Labor told me about the Tassies. You're good people when you're not keeping it in the family. :p
