Three important events for the queer, and sex and gender diverse (SGD) communities, will be held in Sydney this weekend, with each event to feature plenty of discussion on marriage rights at a time when PM Julia Gillard and her Labor colleagues will be debating similar issues at their National Conference in Darling Harbour.
In what is expected to be Australia’s largest ever public rally in support of marriage equality, thousands will march from Hyde Park to the Sydney Convention Centre on Saturday, December 3 to send a message to Labor members at the National Conference to back changes to the Marriage Act.
Cat Rose, convener for Community Action Against Homophobia (CAAH), one of the organisers of the rally, told SX it was of utmost importance that peoples voices were heard, particularly in light of Gillard’s push for a conscience vote on marriage equality.
