In what has been welcomed as a huge step in the struggle for equality of wives, Australians mostly voted in favor of the same spousal marriage. 12.7 million Australians participated in the vote by the postal service, with a huge 61% of votes in favor of gay marriages and 38% of votes against. ...
Celebrations broke out across the country as the result of the survey which took two months was announced by the Australian Bureau of Statistics.
Speaking after the result, Australia Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull said it had been an "overwhelming" response in favor of "yes" and called for same-sex marriage to be legalized before Christmas.
"They voted 'yes' for fairness, they voted 'yes' for commitment, they voted 'yes' for love. And now it is up to us here in the Parliament of Australia to get on with it."#mynameiskay ... spill TEA.... Easy on Shade #jaiyeorie
