    I came across a link to this on another forum I occasionally browse, I haven't seen it posted yet, if it has I apologise!

    While it's not a legally recognised gay union, I thought it was very nice to see something like this happen in Australia. I wish them luck :slight_smile:

    That is wonderful! To be accepted and acknowledged within one's religion is really powerful! :slight_smile:
     
  4. Although I'm not religious, or Australian, this still made me feel all warm and fluffy. I wish them both the best of luck and i hope to see more steps in the right direction. I'm really glad to hear this.
