14 People Every Aussie's Witnessed During The Same-Sex Marriage Debate

What a time!

1. The political-posting-first-time-mother who takes videos in her car and posts them online.

2. The business owners going above and beyond to reward people who are voting YES.

3. The person who wants to tell everyone that the postal vote is going to end up with boys wearing skirts to school.

4. The mummy blogger who wants to lend her support but does it in the most tone-deaf way possible.

5. The aunt who posts long-winded Facebook statuses defending her decision to vote NO.

6. And the tech-savvy grandma who doesn't give a fuck and posts a status about how "love is love".

7. The blokey straight guy who says, “I don’t even know why you need to get married, it’s overrated anyway ha ha ha" while elbowing his wife who is rolling her eyes.

8. The bogan who really doesn't give a fuck about anything and isn't going to vote.

9. The Facebook friend who is volunteering and rallying and posting supportive statuses, making you feel like you’re not doing much at all.

10. The supportive uncle who has never enrolled to vote and doesn’t want to be fined.

11. The earnest tradie who tells you he is going to vote YES while wearing his high-vis, because "no one should really decide on who you choose to love".

12. The enthusiastic Uber driver who tells you that his new girlfriend changed his mind on "the gays" and he now preaches equality.

13. The same-sex couple who oppose marriage equality on the grounds that they themselves do not wish to marry, as "it's just a piece of paper".

14. And the older Liberal-voting conservative grandparents who don’t quite understand what the bother is, but fine, they’ll look out for that piece of paper.
