Why does Kevin Rudd want to divide Australia over homosexual immoral marriage?

During last night's leaders' debate Kevin Rudd promised that if re-elected, he would take the first steps towards making gay marriage a reality, describing it as a "mark of decency to same-sex couples".
He said a bill on the issue would come before parliament within 100 days if Labor wins another term, and his party would be allowed a conscience vote.
Opposition Leader Tony Abbott said it was "an important issue" but would not commit to a conscience vote. Rodney Croome, the national director of the Australian Marriage Equality lobby group, has welcomed Mr Rudd's position on the issue. But he says gay marriage has little chance of being legalised in Australia until the Coalition allows a conscience vote.
The ABC has not inquired from Family First, the Palmer Party, Christian Conservative Church, The Catholic Church or the Australian Christian Lobby for another point of view. Bias? Balance? Dogmaticism?
Why does the ABC do this? There is no mention of the problems caused in Canad and the UK over forcing homosexual marriage onto the population. Why does Rudd want to bring division?
