Seven years after the Howard Liberal government introduced the delightfully discriminating Marriage Amendment Act (2004), we’re still rallying for marriage equality.
Tracy Bartram was guest of honour:
Federal Member of Parliament (The Greens) for Melbourne, Adam Bandt is a strong advocate for Marriage Equality. He had a few words to say about Marriage Equality (including how the Liberal Party has been noticeably absent at these rallies – Shame Liberal Party Shame):
There were even drag queens and a hot dancing boy (because sequins and lip-sync are necessary to help legislate away the hate):
I seem to be a recurring feature at these rallies, and so does my partner Gregory. We’re not married, but we are in a registered relationship in the state of Victoria. We’ve been in a relationship since November 2008. Why can’t we get married Julia?
Oh yeah, and in case you didn’t know, same-sex couples can now get married in New York (but not Australia!):
Back in March I took some pics, and last Saturday, August 13 2011, I took some more. Enjoy the excitement of the day – photos on Google Photos and Facebook.
Thank you for putting off your holiday for the sake of recording this event with your perspicacious eye.
Love your work Mikey <3
