VOTE: POLL

Will a referendum to redefine marriage in the constitution speed up the process of marriage equality?

	No, it will stall the progress made so far to bring about political change and will not alter the Marriage Act itself.
	Yes, because if it succeeds it will make people realise that marriage is an important issue for gays and lesbians.
	No, because if it fails it will have a negative effect on the issue of equal marriage for the foreseeable future.
	Yes, if it’s in the constitution politicians will be forced to change the law.
