Rainbow Report Asks: Who Needs Marriage?

from Rainbow Report

Yup, you heard me. Why don’t we forget marriage – some things are more important. Or so lots of gay people think. Like the ongoing discrimination impacting our kids, leading to a huge rate of suicide and self-harm, as this report shows. And anyway, don’t we have enough rights and protections under the law anyway? To discuss the proposition, we have Tim Peppard of Australian Marriage Equality , who naturally takes a rather different view, Rebecca Dahl of Nicholes Family Lawyers, to help us to understand what we already have under the law and what we still need Lyn Hillier, author of the Writing Themselves In reports, about the attitudes of young people and what they need And finally, singer Jade Leonard, who is fundraising for Equal Love with a song. Thursday June 13 7pm: please join in the debate! PS If you would like overseas same-sex marriages recognised in Australia, please sign this petition and pass it around. Thanks! And if you want to buy Jade’s song, 100% of profits go directly to Equal Love. Here’s the links.
