Over the past few months the government has conducted a non-binding postal survey among registered voters asking if they would favor amending the current marriage law to allow same-sex couples to wed. Sixty-one percent of respondents said yes, and on Wednesday a bill was introduced into the Australian Senate to do just that. Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull said his government hopes to pass the bill by Christmas. “[Australians] have spoken in their millions and they have voted overwhelmingly yes for marriage equality,” Turnbull said after the results of the survey were announced. Social is voicing its own opinion on the matter, and they’re almost universally positive. “Australia + Same Sex Marriage” hits 86 percent positive sentiments, and many users have taken to thanking and praising the Aussies. –Hugo Guzman
