Thursday, February 9th, 2012

Australia Marriage Equality Kiss-InEqual Love Adelaide will be celebrating Valentine’s Day and promoting same-sex marriage rights with a kiss in Adelaide’s premier shopping precinct Rundle Mall.

“On a day that everyone associates with love, we want to highlight that not all love is celebrated equally,” said Equal Love Adelaide spokesperson Jason Virgo.

Australia: Thousands March in Sydney, Brisbane, Wollongong, Canberra, Adelaide and Perth for Gay Marriage

Saturday, May 15th, 2010

Over 2,000 people took to the streets in Melbourne, over 1,000 rallied in Sydney, and many more protested in Brisbane, Wollongong, Canberra, Adelaide and Perth this afternoon as the ongoing fight for same-sex marriage continues across Australia.

Lord of the Rings’ wizard star Sir Ian McKellen stirred the Melbourne crowd outside the Victorian State Library with his coming out story, telling the crowd why the ongoing struggle for LGBT equality around the world is so important to him. The assembled protesters also enjoyed a show from drag diva Pollyfilla.

Meanwhile in Sydney, gay radio personality and newsreader on 2dayFM Geoff Field MC’ed a 1,000-strong rally outside the Town Hall. An audio message from Dannii Minogue pledging her total support for the casue was played to the cheering throng. Armed with a mixture of signs, banners, and a giant rainbow flag, the rally then made its way noisily through the streets of central Sydney to Hyde Park, where a 100,000 signature petition supporting same-sex marriage was handed to a Green MP for presentation to Parliament.
