New Statistics on Same Sex Marriage

New statistics from the ABS has shown more than 3000 same sex marriages took place between December of last year, to June of this year, with Queensland making up 18.9% of these.

Of the weddings, 56.3% were between two women, while the median age for women to marry was 39, compared with 48.5 for men.

Rodney Croome, a Just Equal spokesman said the relatively high median age for same sex marrying, shows these couples have been together a long time and are now able to legally have their love and commitment recognised.
