I go away for a long weekend, and come back to read that the marriage equality bill now has the 61 votes it needs to pass its first reading. While its only the first reading, and some of these MPs may change their mind later, its an important step and at least makes change possible.
If you'd like to show your support for the bill, there will be a rally in Civic Square in Wellington at noon on Wednesday [FaceSpy]. I'll be there; lets show the bigots that kiwis support equality.
