Louisa Walls’ amendment to the marriage bill is welcomed by many new Zealanders, a lot of whom show only support for her actions. The bill has passed its first trial, but still has to pass another two readings before it can become law.
New Zealand MP’s are not guaranteeing their support even if they have helped the amendment pass its first reading. And a lot of Churches are against gay marriage becoming legal, but a few are supporting Louisa Wall with the new amendment.
Personally I would like to see the bill go through as Louisa makes it clear that her bill is pushing for equality in marriage, not limiting it and excluding a large number of people. A lot of young people today do not see the problem in two people of the same sex being allowed to marry, because we have the right to love and be with whomever we want to be with under the human rights act.
Hello!
ReplyDeleteI agree with your view. There's nothing wrong with same sex marriage as long as the two people are happy everyone else should mind their own business :-)
I hope the rest of the world can follow NZ's lead
goodluck
Thanks! I just hope that NZ will be forward enough to let this Bill become Law.
ReplyDeleteAwesome, I think this a fantastic topic to research, it's topical and current. I was in that march! It was easy to read, not too dense. The wide variety of links made things interesting, as I had't seen the draft amendment. :) Nice
