The article offers information on the assertion of Australian Greens Senator Sarah Hansen-Young for South Australia regarding the legal definition of marriage in the country. According to Hansen-Young, the definition of marriage in Australia is out-dated and promotes inequality and discrimination for gays. It notes that the Australian Senator aims to redefine marriage by including same-sex unions regardless the public institution of marriage. It also discusses the fundamental relationship between marriage and progeneration wherein it depicts the genetic fact that male-female union produces an offspring.
