Update for Tuesday 7 August

Editorial: change the law to end discrimination – Dominion Post

Marriage should be the union between two people. Whether they are both men or both women should be no business of the state.

Kiwis support marriage equality – No Right Turn

Women are more likely to support equality than men, and the young and godless are much more likely to support it than the old or god-bothered. But even then, support amongst the over-55s and those who identify themselves as religious is still 50-50.

Obviously things are quietening down after the first rush of blood to the head!  But we expect things to kick off again at first reading … and then hopefully at second and third!

We’re still at 59 MPs in favour on Marriage Equality’s count – and if the NZ First MPs abstain that should mean we’re over the line!  Why not drop one of those undecided MPs an email right now?

Hamilton people:  There’s a planning event happening in your neighbourhood tomorrow! See Facebook for details.
