Study shows Australians support the freedom to marry

Australian Associated Press

A new survey has shown 60 per cent of Australians support marriage equality. And 58 per cent believed Australia should also recognize the marriages of immigrating same-sex couples who'd tied the knot overseas. Support for gay marriage was strongest among Australians aged 16 to 24, with 74 per cent in favour compared with 45 per cent for those aged over 50. Australian Greens leader Bob Brown, who is openly gay, used the survey results to urge the Rudd Government to offer same-sex couples more than civil unions. [Link]
