Australia votes yes for same sex marriage - reactions/comments

Gay Australians could be married before Christmas after the country overwhelmingly endorsed same-sex marriage and brought a community "in from the cold".
It's up to MPs now to legislate on same-sex marriage in the two weeks of parliament left for the year but they've been warned to get it done without playing politics.
A majority 'yes' vote was recorded in 133 of 150 federal electorates across the country.
