OK, so maybe we’re not so savvy as to allow gay or lesbian folk to marry, but the courts now acknowledge [gender-neutral](http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-04-02/high-court-recognises-gender-neutral/5361362) identification!

High-five High Court!

🙂

Another high five to the High Court! Well done Australia, may you be the world leader on this issue. And Happy Merry to many Australians who have gained rights and who can be who they are a little more now! 🙂
