My 84yr old grandmother's a wee bit adorable...she cut out the "Proud Penny (Wong) to be a mum" article 4 me from Wednesday's Herald Sun! :D

"There truly are places within the heart u don't even know exist until you love a child" :) xo

That'd b right...24hrs after the new TV comes home, the data projector starts working - I KNEW that would happen, lol :| :S :D

"3 words that will save our economy: gay bridal registry" :D

"Julia, I'm a homo & I vote!"

"The SDA Union (who's never actually surveyed their members, most who are hair stylists & shop assistants) says 'no' to gay marriage" :|

"Who do you think made your wedding dress?" :D

"If Jesus had 2 Dads, why can't I?"

'Lucky Adam & Eve were white...if they were black they would have said, "Stuff the apple!" & eaten the snake! Then, none of us would be here!' LOL!

"...to be conceived from...an untampered-with ovum from one, identified, living, adult woman and an untampered-with sperm from one, identified, living adult man...is the most fundamental human right of all." (Weekend Australian 24/7/2011) What a load of BULLSHIT (in my opinion)! :/

"Societal attitudes have changed organically in support of same-sex couples. And this is likely to continue." (Weekend Australian 24/7/2011)

Time 4 a new projector I think :( It's been 1 week & it's still without power (no TV during Chris' week-long holiday is driving him insane!)

Looking back at the advice I've given some friends over the years, I just found "Keep ur heart on ur sleeve, but put a condom on it, lol :P"

Okay, so conversations commenced 2day re: Greater Shepparton's commitment to a GLBTIQA-festival come 13/14 Jan 2012! What do YOU wanna see?

Okay, so Question 5 is a 'social question': therefore we're "de facto relationship" :))

Although Question 5 is a 'social question' & we put "de facto relationship", I wouldn't ever "socially" use that term (but nor would I use "husband" or "wife" - I'd use "partner"!) So, "de facto" is it! :/

Question 6 is one of "law": that means we've "never married" (boohoo!) :(

:( Well, my local MP said she'll meet with me, but not b4 Aug 29...that's 5 days AFTER she reports back to Parliament re: same-sex marriage!

"Social Marital Status (MDCP) | Social marital status is the relationship status of an individual in terms of whether she or he forms a couple relationship with another person living in the same usual residence, and the nature of that relationship. A marriage exists when two people live together as husband and wife, or partners, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE MARRIAGE IS FORMALISED THROUGH REGISTRATION. Individuals are, therefore, regarded as married if they are in a de facto marriage, or if they are living with the person to whom they are registered as married."

"Same Sex Couple Indicator (SSCF) | This variable is new for the 2011 Census Dictionary. It indicates whether or not a family are a same-sex couple."

"Relationship as Reported for Couples (RLCP) | This variable is new for the 2011 Census Dictionary. It shows the number of people who reported their relationship as 'Husband or wife' (regardless of whether they are a same-sex or opposite-sex couple). Data is available on request."

Pls do NOT write "Jedi" as ur religion in the Census - this will make ur response invalid & lower the no. of "Non Religious" in Aus. If u r not religious (or r a lapsed Catholic) DO NOT tick religious or write Jedi. Simply put non-religious. This will show the Govt they do not need 2 pander 2 the religious anti-gay groups as in reality they are a minority...

Almost time 2 pour myself my last cup of ambition before I yawn & stretch & try 2 go 2 sleep! :D
