“The biggest thing in this debate is that we’re dealing with people here. And how can you blame someone for what they are? People don’t choose their sexuality and we marginalize the LGBTI community for what they are. I think that this is a conversation that needs to be had and that needs to be discussed compassionately and actually come to something that’s reasonable. And in my mind, that’s marriage for everyone. We’ve moved forward on so many issues and this is the next progression.”
— Australian rugby player David Pocock (oh, what a name) speaking out on marriage equality in response to the views of Minister of Parliament John Alexander

I think the original article got it wrong. John Alexander is a Member of Parliament not a ‘Minister of Parliament’.
