I think it can do. Obviously, when you're struggling with your sexuality as a kid, you're not necessarily going to be worried about if you can get married when you grow up. But when you overcome that hurdle, knowing that you can be in a gay couple and be seen the same way as straight couples is important.Why's it taken so long?
I think it's religion. As much as I'm like, “Go gays!” we should be sensitive to people of faith, because it's an institution and it does mean so much to them. The word marriage has so many different connotations to religions than your average gay couple. Nonetheless, the church has changed and faiths have changed and most practicing Christians don’t follow 100 percent of the Bible, so I think it's getting better.

No, but I think perhaps it's affected people emotionally in society. Its not directly affected my life, though. I think it's all part of a bigger picture – a kind of institutionalised homophobia. I guess it has affected a lot of things indirectly. And I think how long its taken is quite ridiculous.Has it made you angry?
Yeah, I've felt quite angry, frustrated and disappointed. But I kind of knew that it was going to come to an end. It's just rather embarrassing, isn’t it? Because it hasn’t happened as quickly as it should have done. But now it's happened, I’m very happy – I’m going to propose to all my friends.Good luck!

Loving is possible, yes. But marrying, no. It goes against my beliefs and traditions.If one of your family members was gay and got married how would you feel?
I wouldn’t be upset. I would have to be OK with it. But it just goes against my opinion and that’s it.Fair enough.

I think it's because of how their parents have brought them up. But now that time goes on and we become more open to things, more people are coming out as gay earlier in life, so more people have friends, sons and daughters that are gay, meaning people can’t be anti it much longer.

I actually did and she was OK with it.Alright then.

I think people are just set in their old ways, you know? It's 2013 now. You need to get with the times! Like, I mean, I’ve been to civil marriages, but not in the churches, which is ridiculous. So it'll be great to be able to see my friends get married in these kind of institutions.Previously - Would You Date Your Dog?
