Gay Rights in SA
I've just found out on news.com.au that the Domestic Partners Bill 2006 has finally been passed by the South Australian Legislative Council by a vote of 16-3. It's not surprising that it was opposed by the two Family First MLC's Andrew Evans and Dennis Hood and even the Liberal's Terry Stephens.
I'm sure standing up to this 'filth' made Andrew Evans feel as proud as Lot did when he offered his two virgin daughters to a raging, horny mob that had come to sodomise two angels that were staying in his house. (Check it out Genesis:Chap 19)
This legislation finally brings SA into line with other states allowing any two people who live together to enter into a 'domestic partnership' a term that has replaced 'de facto'. After years of campaigning and the issue being side-lined by Labor and Liberal governments there has finally been some progress. Amazing when you consider that South Australia was one of the first places to legalise homosexuality under Premier Don Dunstan.
I thought that it was interesting to note that there was no mention of this legislation being passed on the Advertiser website. I suppose that the Advertiser is ambivalent enough about the legislation to not print anything or maybe they just don't want gays and lesbians to know that they are now just that bit more equal. If anyone has seen the print edition of the Advertiser (and is able to read) could they let me know if the legislation is mentioned anywhere.
