Workshops to move marriage forward

Workshops to move marriage forward

Marriage equality advocates are hailing November as one of the most successful yet in the push for same-sex marriage.

Australian Marriage Equality national spokesperson Alex Greenwich said a host of forums will be held over the next month for those wanting to help out and join in the campaign.

“Support for equality at both a state and federal level has been overwhelming and is growing at an exponential rate,” Greenwich said.

“Our task now is to keep that moment going.”

AME will hold workshops in Melbourne and Sydney on December 4 and 5 respectively.

“To help inform conversations at the level of individual electorates, workplaces and dinner tables we will be conducting workshops on how to advocate and lobby for marriage equality,” he said.

Sydney followed Melbourne’s lead over the weekend with a marriage equality rally at Sydney Town Hall.

So far three states, Tasmania, Victoria and South Australia have made moves to introduce same-sex marriage in state laws and many federal parliamentarians have spoken out in favour of same-sex marriage. Queensland is also understood to be considering civil partnership legislation.

The workshops will run for three-hours over two sessions by anti-homophobia campaigner Daniel Witthaus.
Witthaus this year completed a one-man, 38-week tour of Australia to challenge prejudice and discuss homophobia in remote parts of Australia.

  1. Why do people have a problem with the greens like this??? They appear to be doing a very good job of things from what I can tell

  2. greens are communists and will bankrupt australia

    Is an evangelical Christian who has said amongst other raving we are to promiscuous to have Same-Sex Marriage. He is attacking the Greens on the basis they are advocating for equality more than any other party.

  3. the Communist Manifesto states in chapter 4:

    “support every revolutionary movement against the existing social and political order of things”

    The Greens are moving this agenda forward to use Gays to help them promote communism.

    Do not be fooled- the Greens will bankrupt Australia
