The most hilarious gay marriage speech you'll ever watch.

In case you missed this when we posted it last week… this video is now going SERIOUSLY viral.

New Zealand MP Maurice Williamson made this speech in parliament when same-sex marriage was legalised – and it’s absolutely hilarious.

In the speech, Williamson shows both humour and candour – joking about claims that the drought in New Zealand was caused by the law to recognise marriage between gay couples.

He said that it was, in fact, pouring with rain in his electorate, and there was an “‘enormous big, gay rainbow” over his electorate, which “had to be a sign.”

New Zealand Prime Minister John Key also jokingly told the news site that he was thinking of making Williamson his speech-writer after his efforts, saying, “He is very funny and there is always a serious message in there … He is ferociously bright.”

Do you wish Australian politicians would give more speeches like this?
