A lawmaker in Australia’s governing coalition will put a bill permitting same-sex marriage before the country’s parliament Tuesday, the Australian newspaper reported.
The measure by Warren Entsch has supporters among the governing Liberal-National coalition, as well as the opposition Labor Party and the smaller Greens, the newspaper reported, citing Terri Butler, a Labor member of parliament who supports the legislation. The proposal would change the definition of marriage to say it’s between two people, rather than a man and a woman, the newspaper said.
