Again, we are reminded what a tedious backwater Australia has become when a contestant on such a naf show as big brother is a shining light for a more progressive and open-minded society. One of the recent former contestants on the show wants to marry his boyfriend and I say, why the fuck not? Not allowing him to marry is similar to saying that women can’t vote or aboriginals can’t vote or another group of Australians can’t participate in one of our institutions. Yes, marriage is an important institution so this is why all groups, regardless of their sexuality, should be allowed access to this institution. When are Australians going to be bold enough to take our rightful place as a progressive nation?
Big Brother evictee David Graham, who used the reality TV show to announce he is gay, wants to marry his partner Sheriff in a civil ceremony. David, 26, was ousted from the reality show last night, leaving two original housemates, Camilla and Jamie, to battle it out for the sixth series (link)
