Same-sex marriage activists are gearing up for what has been described as a “year of action” ahead to demand marriage equality.
Protests are being planned for November 28, two days after the Senate Committee is due to report on the findings of the Marriage Equality Amendment Inquiry.
Action is set to take place in most capital cities.
Community Action Against Homophobia co-convenor Ben Cooper said whatever the outcome of the report, people would take to the streets.
“For too long we have been treated as if our deepest feelings, our love and our families are second-rate, abnormal, unnatural and distorted… For too long we have been told we’re not equal,” Cooper said.

We need to be more striking, we need to be loud, we also need to have a lot more of these protests over the next year. As long as gay marriage is banned in Australia – I will still fight and stand tall for gay marriage as an “equality marriage activist” in Australia!!!!!!
Nearly 90 percent for lesbians and gay men DO wish to marry their partner!!!!!!
Gay marriage will be good for business (gay marriage will even help save the economy and provide over 2,000 jobs), good for Australian society, make marriage a stronger insitution and most of all provide essential universal equality that we have fought for!!!!
If Kevin Rudd and his “Labor mates” was “open, transparent and frank” about the economy – he would allow and legalize gay marriages!!!!!
