If you're losing faith in the world (and there are many reasons too, we know) here's a little news story to brighten up your day.
Tasmania is the first Australian state to pass a motion is support of same-sex marriage.
The motion has failed twice before but has finally gotten through with a majority of eight votes to five.
This is great news in itself, but even better considering the upcoming plebiscite (referendum) the country is having on same-sex marriage.
The country holds plebiscites when it wants to change its constitution.
Historically, plebiscites are not successful due to the fact they need a double majority of people and states.
This means many LGBT+ supporters are reluctant for the plebiscite to even be held.
Having said this apparently plebiscites are also not binding.
Nonetheless, it's a great show of solidarity from Tasmania and we love them for it.
No pressure Australia, but we're watching you...
