During the Sydney gay and lesbian Mardi Gras, the majority of the floats protested with signs demanding for same sex marriages to be legalized. Religious leaders have been against same sex marriages because marriage is a sacred union between a male and a female in the Bible. Politics in Australia are traditionally conservative, so there is not a lot of support for same sex marriages. The people who are for same sex marriage are saying that the existing law that makes same sex marriages illegal paints homosexuals are being inferior to heterosexuals.
