Abstract
Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has committed to holding a plebiscite on whether Australia should legalise same-sex marriage by the end of the year if the Coalition is returned to government.
One of the reasons debate around same-sex marriage is so highly charged is because it indicates a long-overdue shift in our cultural acceptance of LGBTI people, and a waning of the influence of the Catholic Church’s more conservative elements.
