the “gay marriage yes or no” referendum

Small nitpick: it was a plebiscite - not a referendum. Our marriage laws aren't contained in the Constitution, so a referendum wasn't required.

With the sheer volume of political nonsense surrounding the question at the time, it sure felt like a referendum!
