> On Friday, August 13, the Australian Senate voted to ban same sex marriage by 
> an overwhelming vote of 38-7. The vote will alter the Australian Marriage Act 
> to include the phrases:
> 
> "Marriage means the union of a man and a woman to the exclusion of all others, 
> voluntarily entered into for life."
> 
> "Certain unions are not marriages. A union solemnized in a foreign country 
> between: (a) a man and another man; or (b) a woman and another woman; must 
> not be recognized as a marriage in Australia."
> 
> The law was enacted partially in response to Australian homosexuals, married 
> in Ontario, who expressed the desire to have their union recognized in their 
> home country. Rather than have the issue decided in the courts, Australian 
> lawmakers chose to explicitly ban homosexual marriage. Christian Coalition 
> lauds this common sense action to defend the traditional family in Australia.
