Australia’s House of Representatives has legalized same-sex marriage by a wide margin.
Only four MPs voted no to make marriage equality the law of the land.
The Senate had already approved the legislation last week by a vote of 43-12.
After the Governor-General gives the legislation official approval in a formality known as “Royal Assent,” marriage equality will become the law of the land. Australia will become the 25th country to recognize same-sex couples’ right to marry.
Congratulations, Australia!
