Spread the word.

A friend of mine, an Australian citizen, is facing forced separation from his life partner because the law does not recognize their relationship. In my circle of friends, it is the second such relationship to be threatened in as many years. I am sad to report that the first union was severed by a bureaucrat; I am hoping that for this, the second, perhaps things will turn out better.

Like most of my readers, I do think it is unlikely that heterosexual marriage will suffer if same-sex marriage becomes a reality. It's quite arguable that same-sex marriage will strengthen the institution of marriage among the liberal-minded, who might otherwise come to see the institution as unfair and therefore presumptively wrong.

I know with certainty, however, that same-sex couples are suffering right now, and that something should be done to help them.

Read the whole article. It includes a letter from the party in question and information on how you can help change things.

This is the sort of thing that just burns my shorts. They're not protecting Holy Matrimony. They're protecting Holy Sanctimony.
