Gay Marriage The reason the federal government will successfully challenge ACT gay marriage laws in the High Court is because under the Australian constitution, marriage is a federal / commonwealth law. As such, a state or territory cannot enact any legislation in relation to marriage. So ACT legislation will fail. Equality does not mean that everyone is the same. Minority groups that amount to 2% of the population do not get to dictate to the other 98% of the population what constitutes marriage.
