Lochsley Wilson is a Launceston College student and gay rights activist. He writes to show a teenage perspective on the same-sex marriage debate.
I’ve been married twice. The first was in playschool, when I was three years old: she was a ballerina, I was a stay-at-home dad. Only two years passed and I was an architect, my new wife a doctor.
Regardless of whom it is between, marriage holds great cultural significance in Western society. It’s something we grow up watching on TV, reading in novels, roleplaying with our friends, and hoping in the future we’ll be able to marry the person we love, too.
