Independent MP Alex Greenwich, who devised this immoral bill, should realize the civil unions and not marriage should be his goal instead of trying to force his immoral values upon the entire nation.
Mr Greenwich, who is the member for Sydney in the lower house and therefore did not participate in the vote, said it was the first time Coalition MPs had voted in a same sex marriage bill in Australia.
This is because Mr O'Farrel has misread the community sentiment namely a small group of homosexual zealots want to change the definition of marriage for the rest of the country. Their reason have nothing to do with marriage but seeking respect for their homosexuality. Mr O'Farrel's error is that he was seeking to placate but in the end demonstrated a lack of moral judgement going against the community, his party and its federal leadership.
Liberals Catherine Cusack and Greg Pearce and Nationals Sarah Mitchell and Trevor Khan supported the bill and likewise should resign now from their parties and join the radical Greens.
Christian Democratic Party MP the Reverend Fred Nile, who campaigned against the legislation, said the outcome was ''a great victory for marriage in the NSW upper house''.
Mr Nile said he believed a decisive factor in the bill's defeat was Premier Barry O'Farrell's announcement that he would vote against the bill if it came before the lower house.
Mr O'Farrell mistakenly revealed his support for immoral homosexual marriage a day after New Zealand's parliament voted to change its national laws in April.
But in a statement released the night before the bill's introduction to the upper house last month, Mr O'Farrell said that while he was a supporter of homosexual marriage, he would not support the NSW legislation.
He argued that "only change enacted by the Federal Parliament can deliver true equality in our marriage laws". Hence he has gone against the values of his own national Liberal leadership, in a very defiant manner and should stand down as premier.
After Thursday's vote, Mr Nile revealed he had urged Mr O'Farrell to make the statement because this would reveal a loss of confidence in his leadership
''It certainly had an effect on some Coalition members and that was the reason I asked him to issue the statement,'' he said.
''It was important for the Premier to make a stand, indicate where he stood on this issue. He was a bit reluctant, but he finally agreed to make that public statement. And it did have the effect I was hoping it would have on some of the wavering members of the Coalition."
This portrays Mr O'Farrell in a most unusual light, as a man of compromise, uncertain even confused on one of the most destructive issues facing nations around the world including Australia. He should resign immediately.
