Blaxland MP Jason Clare's electorate heavily against allowing same-sex marriage.



Despite that he says going to vote in Parliament to change the Marriage Act and released a tweet explaining his reasoning.



The soon-to-be groom said as with racism and women's suffrage, society's views on homosexuality have changed.



"Things change, society's changed... I'm fortunate, we're fortunate, that we live in a more equal, more tolerant time, and moreso every day," he said.



"Everyone should have the same opportunities in life regardless of the colour of their skin, their religion, their sex or their sexual preference. I know a lot of people have a different view on this issue."

"I believe this debate, at its core... is about fairness. We should treat others the way we want to be treated."
