Just when I thought the USA had cornered the market on crazy ass straights, it turns out a married man and woman in Australia say they will divorce if gay marriage becomes the law of the land. All the time homophobes have said gay marriage would ruin straight marriage. It turns out that straight married people can ruin their marriage all on their own.

The above Pie Chart shows how Australians feel about marriage equality. Note this was poll is three years old. More recent polls have shown higher number in favor of marriage equality. Here are the results of the Galaxy Poll:

Galaxy Research polling (2009-2012) shows:

64% of Australians support marriage equality.
A majority of Christians (53%) support marriage equality.
76% of Coalition voters want Abbott to allow a conscience vote.
75% believe the reform is inevitable.
81% of young people (18-24 years) support marriage equality.

Alas, in the US and Australia, the politicians and preachers are behind the curve of public opinion.
