Australians Vote in Favor of Same-Sex ‘Marriage’ in Nationwide Postal Survey
Australia is set to legalize same-sex marriage before the end of the year after voters emphatically backed the move in a nationwide survey.
“We must respect the voice of the people,” Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull said in Canberra on Wednesday after the country’s statistics office revealed 61.6 percent of respondents support marriage equality, with 38.4 percent opposed. “It is unequivocal. It is overwhelming.”
