ABC Reports: A bill recognising overseas same-sex marriages has been overwhelmingly voted down in the Senate, with Government and Opposition senators crossing the floor to vote. Last year the Senate voted down a bill aimed at recognising the marriages of gay and lesbian Australians who have been wed overseas, and the Coalition, which officially opposes gay marriage, labelled today's bill as a backdoor way of reigniting the debate.

But Liberal-National Senator Sue Boyce disagreed and crossed the floor to support the bill. "Within the Liberal Party one always has the option of exercising a free vote, and if we are to vote on this legislation, I will be voting for this bill because I think it advances the cause of same-sex marriage in Australia," the Queensland senator said.

Without reference to current research Boyce incorrectly asserts that "Same-sex marriage is not going to be the end of the world for anybody - especially not for children or for couples in Australia." 

The Mark Regarnus research clearly shows the damage done to children of Homosexual and lesbian parents. Homosexual activists tried to destroy this research complained but his research stood firm.

Senator Boyce indicated before the vote that she would cross the floor against her party's position. Labor senators also split on gay marriage recognition

There was also disagreement in Labor ranks, with 10 Government senators, including ministers Stephen Conroy, Don Farrell and Jacinta Collins, splitting from the majority of their colleagues to vote against the bill.

Penny Wong was one of those Labor senators voting for the bill. Wong is seeking to muddy the argument by referring to the illogical past ban on interracial marriage, to justify homosexual marriage. Interracial marriage is a race argument that is seen today as incorrect, however, it was between a man and a woman. This has NO correlation with same male and same female relationship which are infertile by nature, against evolution, against bodily physical design, and robs children of a father or mother intentionally.

The bill was defeated, with 44 votes against and 28 in favour.
Earlier this year, the Federal Government sought to remove a discriminatory hurdle against same-sex couples who want to marry overseas by introducing a certificate of no impediment.

The document proves a person is over 18, is not married and there is no other barrier to them getting married.

Before that, the Government only provided the certificate for heterosexual couples, but same-sex couples have been able to apply for the document since February this year.
