It is such a pity that “Gay Marriage Rights in Australia” also fails to change their name, and realise that “GAY MARRIAGE” or “SAME SEX MARRIAGE IS NOT MARRIAGE EQUALITY and now they wonder why the trans* and intersex communities have these types of problems? “
WHERE TO FROM HERE?
‘Separate but equal’ is not equal. It shouldn’t matter where you live, who you love or what sex you are.
After the bill passes in the ACT tomorrow, thousands of Australian couples will be able to marry their ‘same-sex’ partner for the first time in the ACT but there will still be couples who are excluded and there will still be couples forced to divorce because of their legal sex status or the sex of their partner. This is not the ‘fair go’ Australians pride themselves on. This is not ‘marriage equality’ for Australia. This is ‘same-sex marriage’ in the ACT. The only way we can achieve full and inclusive marriage equality is to change the Federal Marriage Act. It’s important that as we celebrate tomorrow that we remember that and most importantly tell all our family and friends and our Federal politicians.
We will not rest until ALL Australians in ALL states are treated fairly and have the right to marry the person they love and have their love recognised as equal. “No freedom till we’re equal. Damn right I support it.”
