Join Equal Love to mark ten years since the homophobia amendment to the Marriage Act by the Howard government in 2004. We will be rallying, then marching to the Registry Office for a mass illegal wedding.
This event is part of Equal Love's Year of Action to mark 10 years of homophobic discrimination in relation to marriage. Make your voice heard for equality!
Protesters will hear from a host of speakers, including the world's first intersex mayor Tony Briffa, as well as a musical performance from Aria award winner Monique Brumby. Brumby is an outspoken supporter of marriage equality, stating in a recent interview with LOTL magazine:“The single 'Silent War' is a love song that happens to be about the union between two women. It reflects my views on the status of marriage equality in Australia, and that I would really like to see same sex couples recognised under the marriage act.”
The rally will end at Parliament Reserve where Equal Love will hold a mass illegal wedding, where couples will be invited to defy the government's law and get married in a ceremony overseen by a supportive celebrant. Gay couple Michael Barnett and Gregory Storer, who are to feature on the SBS documentary Living with the Enemy, will also speak at the ceremony.
Please bring pro-equality banners, placards, contingents, workmates, children, pets.
All welcome. This event will be AUSLAN interpreted.
