Eight years after the Howard Liberal government introduced the delightfully discriminating Marriage Amendment Act (2004), we’re still rallying for marriage equality.
Magda Szubanski was guest of honour at the Equal Love Rally on May 12, 2012:
Carl Katter was there too:
Adam Bandt, Federal MP for Melbourne and Deputy Leader of the Australian Greens returned to speak out for equality:
Dear Julia, my partner Gregory and I have been in a relationship since November 2008. Gregory is a father of two. We want the right to get married. Why does the government not allow us to get married?

Gillard’s stance is odd indeed. As an atheist she’ll never get the support of the radical christians, muslims and jews. But then, is she an atheist?

Thanks for the photos.

Gillard’s stance is odd indeed.

And has anyone ever forced her to give a cogent reason for her refusal to countenance equality? all she ever says is “I think…’
Massive thanks to all the well-wishers, encouragers, supporters, photographers and protesters at yesterday’s Equal Love rally. We were absolutely gob-smacked by the tide of warm regard and appreciation. Was a true delight and privilege to walk alongside such lovely souls. Best of luck with your ongoing campaign.
