There’s actually three sides of the marriage equality debate. We normally only think of there being two sides: Those who are arguing for marriage equality; Those who are arguing against marriage equality. The third side comes from those who don’t believe and marriage and therefore don’t see the point of the entire thing, …
In cartoons we see avalanches almost invariably starting the same way. It’s clichéd, in fact – a small pebble propping up a huge boulder gets bumped. The pebble falls away, and moments later the boulder comes tumbling down after it. After that of course, the avalanche is inevitable. And if it …
There’s another set of Equal Love/Marriage Equality rallies coming up, and I thought I’d jump in early and try to address some ongoing concerns conservatives and capitalists have about these rallies.

Normally when we think of truck based shipping in Australia we think of the contents as being such things as food, consumer goods, even household contents. There’s a new truck driving up the east coast of Australia at the moment, and it’s only got one thing in it: hate. Organised …
