A rainbow coloured crowd gathered in Lismore's new quadrangle this morning, to wait together for the result of the recent Same Sex Marriage Plebishite. Up until a few days ago I was feeling positive that common sense would prevail and we would overwhelmingly vote yes and get on with it. But as the result has drawn closer, I have to admit to feeling more and more nervous and wondering if stupidity and hate would win. Thankfully 61.8% voted Yes and now we just have to hope that the politicians, having asked our opinion, now listen and act for the majority.

Yes Wins! Yes Wins! Yes Wins!
