Last year during the 2012 US Federal Election Campaign, Kelly Clarkson said she planned to vote for President Barack Obama because he supported marriage equality, even though she is a "Republican at heart". "I can’t support Romney’s policies as I have a lot of gay friends and I don’t think it’s fair they can’t get married," she put it simply. Note that it doesn't affect her personally - but being unselfish is the hallmark of a decent human being. She also had another reason too: "I’m not a hardcore feminist but we can’t be going back to the ’50s."
Now Australia will face a similar election in a few weeks, where one candidate supports marriage equality and the other does not. One candidate is clearly no sexist, and the other, well, it's not very clear it seems, especially with his recent 'sex appeal' comments. One candidate is clearly about the future, the other is often called a '50s man'. Plenty of parallels there. Think about it.
It may not matter to you personally, but you really should think about your choice. It will affect our future. Be non selfish and do the right thing.
