Write to Latham and Roxon
Here's some points you can make in your letter to ALP leaders protesting Labor's betrayal on the same sex marriage ban Senate committee.

Dear Mr Latham / Ms Roxon,
I am bitterly disappointed that the Labor Party has decided to support the Government's legislation conclusively prohibiting same sex marriage before the Senate committee investigating that legislation has reported.
The Senate inquiry must be allowed to continue because
~on June 1st this year Tanya Plibersek MHR on behalf of the ALP promised the LGBT community that "The proposed changes do not take existing rights away, so we will not oppose it in the House of Representatives but we will send the legislation to a Senate inquiry for thorough examination before voting in the Senate."
~ thousands of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people, and their friends, family members and allies have made submissions to the inquiry in good faith. On the basis of the ALP's former commitment to this inquiry these people believed their views would be taken seriously.
~ other members of the Australian public with strongly held views on marriage should also have the chance to have their say.
~ the legislation has a wide range of legal, constitutional and social implications which must be aired, discussed and resolved before the legislation proceeds
~ the ALP patiently waited for the result of the Senate inquiry into the Free Trade Agreement before it voted on that legislation. If you believe marriage is as important as you say it is you will also wait for this Senate inquiry to finish its deliberations before you act.
~ the large number of submissions to the Senate inquiry against same sex marriage should not be used as an excuse to curtail that inquiry. The outcomes of parliamentary inquiries are not determined by weight of numbers.
~ if the ALP supports a same sex marriage ban forth with large segments of the LGBT community will fail betrayed by, and alienated from the Australian Labor Party.
Thank you for your time,

another disappointed labor supporter that will not be voting for the ALP at the next fed election.
Not just my vote, but a dozen friends, and 10 members of my family. I will work every day to move votes from labour to the greens and we will all be giving our preferences to the liberals in the senate out of complete contempt for labour and their abandonment of our rights. This will continue for every council, state and federal election until our rights are restored by the ALP. This country no longer represents my interests and it is run by a parliament of terror against my right to exist with equal freedoms.
Chris Rennie
I have already written to Roxon and Latham expressing my disgust - although I note Latham didn't have the guts to come and say it himself.
My partner, who is what you might call a natural Liberal voter, looked at me in despair and said, "So who are we supposed to vote for now?"
Mind you, I don't think we should blame Labor too much: we largely did this to ourselves, by trying to front up to a national government with only a very weak national presence.
It's time to amalgamate all the state GLBT rights groups into one national organisation with a permanently staffed office in Canberra, instead of bitchily guarding our little patches of local turf.
Time for an emergency national summit on the issue NOW, BEFORE the general election to forge a UNIFIED election campaign.
In short, we can't hope the bastards will do it for us, we have to do it ourselves.
A GLBT political party, anyone?
I want recognition of my relationship through legal processes, this is my human right. How and why did this become about marriage?
Personally I have no desire to appropriate an irrelevant ritual from the dominant heterosexual culture, a ritual that seems an anachronism within many heterosexual relationships. I have to question the collective and individual psychological process that underlies endorsement of such a narrow model of relationship. Two related concepts come to mind on this issue-
Gregory Herek defined the term heterosexism as “the ideological system that denies, denigrates, and stigmatises any non-heterosexual form of behaviour, identity, relationship or community”.
Malyon (1982) conceptualised the process of heterosexual socialisation for the adolescent homosexual as internalised homophobia (or internalised homonegativity), which he defined as the “internalisation of the mythology and opprobrium that characterise current social attitudes toward homosexuality”.
Does the need to be married among some members of the gay community represent a desperate need to be accepted within and on the terms of the dominant heterosexual culture? Is this modern heterosexism and internalised homonegativity?

although the disgust at the labour parties seemin inaction is tottally justified i would like to remind all that most of the rights that have been hard won have been largely due to labour supported policies a quick review of the last ten yrs will show a devastating attack on all liberties not just gay related most other groups have lost fundamental and long established rights the unholy allience of bush/blair/and our own little dictator (jack boot johhnny) has created an enviroment that could quickly evolve the australian ideoligy into an american religous rightwing hatefull society, maybe the way to fight this is for all affected groups to look beyond their specific campaigns and join with other affected groups and make a (coalition of fairness?) or something along those lines .small groups of opposition do little, large groups do lots my advice is for all groups to put their prejeduces aside and stand by your brother /sister be they gay /straight/rich/poor/teetottaller/drug affected /muslim/christian/atheiest my support has allways been with those that will stand for whats right and fair personnally the gay rghts campaign has no relevance to me other than the fact that the same rghts afforded to straight people should also apply to gay pple ive stood and campaigned for gay rights and recognition for 20 + yrs simply based on the (equality for all) basis im straight but not blinded by straightness to see the other side of the argument STAND FOR YOUR RIGHTS ALONGSIDE ALL PPL REGARDLESS FAIRNESS TO ALL IS NOT BASED ON LIFESTYLE OR SKIN COLOUR FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT FOR ALL AUSSIES
