Australia: Clergy to Defy Church, Bless Gay Couples

Friday, June 4th, 2010

Some Melbourne Uniting Church clergy will defy the national organisation’s opposition to blessing gay and lesbian relationships at a service for same-sex couples later this month.

The new Sacred Union Ceremony will take place on June 12 at Brunswick Uniting Church as part of the biennial Uniting Network Australia (UNA) conference of GLBT Uniting Church members.

Rev Leanne Jenski from South Australia’s Blackwood Uniting Church told Sydney Star Observer the ceremony was an important step to reignite discussion in the church about recognising same-sex relationships.

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.
