Such a shame that people get equal rights, yeah.
I don't think that rights exist as anything other than a social construct, so I don't really care for the idea of equal rights either. Rights are a spook that can easily be taken away by any power with sufficient force, which is virtually all of them. That is why it is foolish to trust in your fellow man to democratically protect you, and, instead better to invest in a Leviathan capable of crushing those who would challenge the status quo.

I thought it was the 'No' campaign basically howling at the moon about boys in dresses, the end of the traditional family and gay overlords.

I could say I thought Turnbull had the ticker to defy religious conservatives in his own party and pass it without winding back decade old anti-discrimination protections. I doubt it though.
I hope my cynicism is wrong on the subject, but this victory proves nothing other than what we already knew, that the majority of Australians support same-sex couples marrying. If the religious right and their puppet MPs didn't care about that before now, they won't start caring as a result of this.
There's still a fight ahead I fear.

More along the lines of that cake controversy from what I hear.
Ah, the right to refuse to do your job as a civil servant when it clashes with your religious beliefs ? That will be nice...
"According to my religion women are unfit to drive. I can therefor not hand you your driverslicense"
Or they could do it like in the Netherlands, where it only applies to marriage and only to civil servants who already had a contract before the law was changed.
Downside of that is that over 15 years later you still have a few of those around.
