Senator Leyonhjelm explains that he's copped nothing but abuse from people on both sides of the same sex marriage debate. It's been particularly nasty from those in favour of it. Many oppose a plebiscite because they incorrectly think that same sex couples couldn't possibly handle a public debate.

Despite being the only Senator to vote every single time in favour of Same Sex Marriage, despite supporting a free vote and despite introducing my own Freedom to Marry bill, he says it's been nothing but abuse.

He believes same sex couples should have the freedom to marry and he will support any process to achieve this, even if it means supporting a costly plebiscite. Let's stop whinging and let the people decide.
