The results of the Australian survey for marriage equality have been tallied, with respondents voting overwhelmingly in support of same-sex marriage.
In total, 79.5% of eligible voters participated, with 61.1% voting ‘yes.’
38.4% voted ‘no,’ while the remainder of the votes were unsure.
Needless to say — a victory for equality. Now it’ll be up to parliament to follow through.
