        How would a young loved-up Bernard have responded if someone told him he could just "wait a couple of years" before Lyle let him marry?

        It is unethical to remove yourself from the 'yes' pool - forcing the yes campaigners to work even harder to compensate for your moralising

        The idea that we’re being asked 2 vote 4 human rights is appalling but if the process remains in play a maj No vote would be catastrophic

        Labeling people who want to vote ‘Yes’ for #marriageequality ‘unethical’ is hardly constructive.

        If there's a yes vote, some MP's ignore it and we can use that. If there's a no vote due to boycott, it'll harm #LGBT youth

        I get the process is totally fucked but do I not support my LGBTI brothers and sisters on principle? It is going ahead with or without us.

        True, but a no result will be a big blow to the LGBTIQ+ community regardless of its accuracy

        Some in US thought it unethical to vote when they didn't like either choice for POTUS. That went well, didn't it?

        Parties other than the LNP are equally susceptible to polls. A "No" vote could set this back years.

        If the vote is happening, the vile debate will happen. Might as well fill the debate with love and win this thing so it's worth the pain!
