Gay marriage bill is rejected by Australian parliament

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-19645307


Gay rights activists were disappointed with the outcome of the vote

Australian members of parliament have overwhelmingly rejected a bill that would have legalised gay marriages after days of heated debate.

The House of Representatives voted 98 to 42 against the bill, with one MP resigning a key post after making controversial comments against it.

Australia does not permit gay marriage, though some states allow civil unions.

Gay rights activists called the decision a "slap on the face," ABC News reported.
