I came across  a great tweet the other day, pretty much sums up the whole marriage equality debate being had across the world:

Pretty happy that I come from a country that recognizes the rights and privileges for my LGBTWTF friends – it’s not 100% perfect yet, but it’s getting there.

Under NZ law, gay couples can get a civil union, but not marriage – the only technical difference is terminology, and due to a poorly structured bit of legalization, a gay couple can’t adopt, as it explicitly requires a “married” couple.

I’m hopeful that it won’t be too much longer before we can fix that final bit of legalization to make a civil union or marriage available to any couple and have exactly equal standing. :-)
