From the New Zealand Herald , David Pocock said: “I don't see what the big deal is with the whole gay marriage debate in Australia."
“Being brought up in a Christian home and still identifying as Christian, I get pretty annoyed with the Christian lobbies around the world who say gay marriage destroys the family and all that kind of rubbish.
“They claim to follow someone who always stood up for the oppressed and marginalised.
“I guess it is a fear of the unknown – if you talk to someone who doesn’t like gay people you can almost guarantee that they don't know too many.
“These are the prejudices that you have to challenge and break down. Emma and I decided not to get legally married until our gay friends could do the same.”
