Queenslanders have overwhelmingly voted yes for the legalisation of same-sex marriage, with only three regional electorates voting against the decision.
A whopping 60.7 per cent of Queenslanders who took part in the Australian Bureau of Statistics survey voted yes.
All states and territories recorded a majority yes response to marriage equality, the survey results released on Wednesday revealed. The Australian Capital Territory topped the list at 74 per cent, while New South Wales rounded out the bottom at 57.8 per cent.
Brisbane residents voted above the national capital-city average, ahead of Sydney, Perth and Adelaide.
The federal seat of Brisbane, held by the Liberal Party, topped the state's electorate list with 79.5 per cent voting yes, followed closely by the Labor-held seat of Griffith at 76.6 per cent, and Ryan at 72.7 per cent, held by the LNP.
Residents in the seat of Rankin, covering suburbs including Logan, Rochedale, Daisy Hill and Calamvale, were least in favour of voting for marriage equality across greater Brisbane, with 45.4 per cent against the move.
Queensland's biggest no vote came from the regional seat of Maranoa, held by the Liberal Party of Australia, where 56.1 per cent of respondents were against the legalisation, putting it in the top 10 national electorates against the legalisation of same-sex marriage.
The highest percentage of no voters across the country was in the New South Wales seat of Blaxland at 73.9 per cent. Twelve NSW electorates were against same-sex marriage, compared with three in Queensland and two in Victoria.
Equality campaigner Bill Rutkin said it was almost 50 years since he started campaigning against police persecution of homosexual people in Queensland.
