Gosford Council unanimously supports marriage equality
GOSFORD Council has unanimously voted to support same-sex marriage and will write to state and federal MPs advising them of their decision.
Speaking to the Daily Telegraph, Cr Gabby Bowles said she felt “incredibly strongly” about this.
“As a parent I have not had the experience of one of my children coming out but I would like to think they had love and support,” she said.
“We are opening our arms and opening our hearts and saying loudly we are supporting the same sex community.”
In response to some who questioned the NSW Central Coast council’s role in wading into marriage equality issues, Cr Bowles assured the community life would go on as normal.
“The rates notices won’t be late, the libraries will open, the pools will open and the garbage will be collected,” she said.
