Equal Love's rally in Melbourne this Saturday is set to be the countries biggest rally for Marriage Equality to date. Over 20,000 Australians who are tired of waiting for our Federal Politicians to catch up with the rest of the community and make Marriage Equality a reality, are expected to converge in the city center.
We will NEVER STOP FIGHTING - We want MARRIAGE EQUALITY NOW!
Five reasons to rally:
1. Eleven years of discrimination is too many; marriage is a civil right.
2. The U.S. and Ireland joined another 19 countries to extend marriage rights to all; Australia lags behind.
3. Politicians must be pressured to support public sentiment and vote "yes" to the Private Members Bill for marriage equality this August.
4. Send a strong message to Abbott: stop standing in the way of equality.
5. Show anti-equality groups that public opinion favours equality over their discrimination.
