Join Us On November 28! Pass the Same-Sex Marriage BIll! 1pm Town Hall Station.

With the success of the nationwide demonstrations on August 1st forsame sex marriage, activists have decided to continue to push forwardfor equality with a year long, grass roots campaign, called 'TheNational Year of Action' which will be launched on November 28th

The year of action promises to be the largest, most vibrant andhistoric campaign this country has ever seen for the rights of LGBTI Australians.

So far Perth, Brisbane, Canberra, Lismore, Melbourne, Adelaide and Sydney have confirmed actions on the 28th of November to launch the campaign.

On Thursday November 26th, two days before the launch, the SenateCommittee reviewing Greens Senator Sarah Hanson-Young's MarriageEquality Amendment Bill, will release their report, which will make anumber of recommendations on whether or not same-sex couples should beallowed to marry in Australia.

Co-Convenor Ben Cooper stated "The days of being treated as secondclass citizens and growing up invisible must come to an end. For toolong we have been treated as if our deepest feelings, our love and ourfamilies are second rate, abnormal, unnatural and distorted. For toolong we have been bullied, bashed, censored, raped, rejected andtortured. For too long we have been repressed, marginalised, vilifiedand silenced. For too long we have been told we are not equal."

We will also be holding an illegal wedding ceremony, which will bepresided over by Pastor Karl Hand from the MCC church. Click the linkbelow to register.

We need YOU to stand up, get active and protest with all the friends that you can bring!
