Australians Vote 'Overwhelmingly' in Favor of Same-Sex Marriage
As you may be aware, Australia has, for the last two months, been debating and conducting a national postal survey to determine whether its citizens would like to legalize same-sex marriage. As it turns out, Australians are overwhelmingly in favor of the measure.
On Tuesday, the Australian Bureau of Statistics unveiled the results, which show that 61 percent of the population voted to allow same-sex marriage, while 38 percent voted against it, CNN reports. 12.7 million Australians participated in the governments survey, which accounts for 79.5 percent of voting-age Australians, according to The New York Times.
The survey is non-binding but will hopefully clear the way for Australias Parliament to legalize same-sex unions in the very near future.

I am a bit surprised at this, but it is grand.
