A Foreigner's Perspective
Now the voting is done, for better or for worse ... here's a look at what our esteemed politicians have put us through from a foreigners perspective.
Australians are exceptionally good at displaying empathy ... except for when we're not.
Strangers Invited To Judge If I Am Worthy of Equality And You're Complaining About Recieving An Unsolicited SMS?
But I guess I see view it from within a much different context to that from which heterosexuals view it (including those who share some of my misgivings around the SMS tactic).
I view being forced to allow total strangers to make a judgement as to the validity of my relationships as an unwarrented demonstration of disrespect and a totally unecessary outrage.
Whether or not my relationships are in any way equal in standing to the relationships that my brother, my sister and every other heterosexual Australian is not and should not be a matter of the subjective and often ill-informed opinion of strangers. For me, it's easy to appreciate why, relative to that outrage I ascribe a vastly diminished nuisance value to the YES campaign's use of SMSs and zero care factor as to any associated legal issues and finer points of law than others apparently do.
It's always been my observation that Australians are exceptionally good at displaying empathy ... except for when we're not.
Let's get this done. Vote YES!
