GAY AUSSIE OLYMPIC DIVER SLAMS PRIME MINISTER'S STANCE ON GAY MARRIAGE

I read this on Queerity.com. The "Out" Australian Olympic diver Matthew Mitcham is defending the right to be able to marry someone of the same sex. The Prime Minister Kevin Rudd believes that the institution of marriage should be only between a man and a woman. Mitcham does not believe this at all:

"[Mitcham] certainly bears the markings of a good gay role model: he’s successful, attractive and he’s not shy about speaking up on queer issues. When asked for his view on same-sex marriage, for instance, he has no compunction slamming Prime Minister Kevin Rudd.

“I’m not happy with Kevin Rudd,” he says, bluntly. “Kevin Rudd’s opinion of marriage as something that’s only between a man and a woman is quite narrow-minded. During the election campaign he was all about appearing young and cool, but his views on gay marriage make him look quite old-fashioned.”" [SOURCE]

I agree with Matthew.. I mean coming from Canada we see how it's really not a big deal at all to marry your partner, no matter what sex. It's about equality and we should be marry the person we love. That is what i believe in. You cannot help who you fall in love with..
