Oh, look!

Well, this is a step in the right direction.

For those who can't be bothered making the fantastical journey into link land, I'll sum it up for you. The Melbourne City Council want to make a register available for gay couples, who want to make their relationship in some way official. I think it's definitely a step towards civil unions, which would be brilliant!

Do you think Ash would say yes if I asked her?

I think something like that already exist in France. I think it's called 'the Pacs" or something like that and one mayor did provoke a lot of 'noise' when he performed the first gay wedding in his town. But i think otherwise people here don't give a damn about gay people guetting married.

Personally i think it's okay, if that's what one want, it's good to know what you really want.

I'm still not agreeing with myself as the *idea* of marriage for me, or what i want... so...*lifts eyebrows*

I don't think it's a big enough step at all, but at least people are going against the Howard mindset I suppose.

Well, it's a first step, at least? That's something.

Don't know, M - I guess you'd have to ask her & find out...

methinks the asking has just happened in the nicest indirect way :)

I suppose it's a bit piss-poor, but they're getting the ball rolling, so that's good. Anti-Howard! Bring down the establishment! *grin*

Hey Shami! I think she'd say yes... we are floating the idea of getting hitched, anyway...

We'll see.

I think that that would be the worst proposal ever... via a blog entry.

Hmm. Via a death threat would probably be worse.

Or indeed via the cause of death.

No use in getting hit by Cupid's arrow if it is through the heart and leaves you dead on the pavement.

I'll shut up now.

Aren't you usually just content to shout 'Doooooooomed!'?

And I wasn't proposing! As if I'd do it via a blog! *laughs*

I thought talking about people getting killed would convey the DOOMED message well enough.

Though seriously you know that I took back the DOOMED thing... I did say admit I was wrong, quite humbly, when you visited chezbob.

Shami was the one that said you were proposing via blogger...
