Dutton says pro and anti-same sex marriage songs should be performed at NRL final after Macklemore controversy
Following a presentation at the Policy Exchange think tank in London overnight, Mr Dutton said two songs should be played at the NRL Grand Final if US rapper Macklemore was allowed to act his pro-marriage equality song.
“I am into free speech... presumably two songs should be played, one for gay marriage and one against gay marriage,’’ he reportedly said, according to The Australian.

We pooled 10 years of California Health Interview Survey (CHIS) data and utilize a T1-T2 design to approximate a time series design. Dependent variables add overall self-related health, psychological distress, and household income. Independent variables include sexual identity and same-sex spouse. Bi-variate analyses compared self-reported mental and physical health between the two periods. We found decreased reports of poorer health and increased reports of very good health among same-sex attracted men and lesbian women with legal spouses. Psychological distress decreased for legally coupled gay men and lesbians while increased slightly among unpartnered lesbian women and gay men. Common income increased among coupled lesbian women and queer men and decreased among others. Our project demonstrated positive health influences for Californians with legal lgbtq+ spouses.
