There's no denying the Turnbull government's opinion poll is a stacked deck, designed to mark every card against those seeking marriage equality.

That's why supporters of marriage equality need to work twice as hard to get out the vote, and ensure that Malcolm Turnbull's $122 million 'survey' accurately reflects the overwhelming will of the Australian people.

Calls for a boycott are understandable. LGBTI Australians rightly feel insulted that we have to ask permission to be equal.

We didn't want to be here. We shouldn't be here. But now we are here, we have to fight.
