An Australian equal marriage campaigner has said that LGB couples are waiting to tie the knot because “they are too tired” after campaigning for their rights to marriage.
After enduring nearly three months of campaigning to score an overwhelming 66.1% “yes” vote in the Australian same-sex marriage referendum, Australian Marriage Equality board member Sarah Midgley said that people probably need “a little break” before they get hitched in droves after the vote.
“Many people maybe need a little break since the postal survey but also to relax after the campaign,” said Midgley she told Sky News.
“Australia has achieved marriage equality and this is now something that we can all share and enjoy together as a country. Once that’s sinking in, over the new year I think we’ll see more and more weddings,” she added.
In spite of the exhaustion, several couples did decide that the historic moment would be the perfect time to get hitched after midnight on 9 January.
