A historic win for the Greens in the seat of Melbourne has left many in the gay and lesbian community cheering a campaign fought over gay marriage. At a press conference on Monday new Melbourne MP Adam Bandt said he was proud to be the first Greens member elected to the House of Representatives.

“I’m pleased to be here today representing those values.”
