One of the biggest decisions in Australia's marriage equality debate drew just about everyone onto social media on Thursday.。
Australia's High Court handed down a decision Thursday to allow the federal government to lawfully use $122 million to implement a postal plebiscite on the matter of same-sex marriage. The non-binding, no-compulsory survey will ask the question: “Should the law be changed to allow same-sex couples to marry?”
