isanbirder Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 And the result.... a landmark victory for gay marriage. Most significant is that this was achieved by a referendum, meaning that every adult could have his/her say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 It's a really good thing that a popular vote on this issue is not needed in every country where marriage equality has already been achieved or will be achieved. It's unreasonable to think basic civil rights for small minority groups will usually pass in such popular direct votes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
