EQUALITY DENIED - HOMOPHOBIA RULES THE ROOST IN AUSTRALIA'S PARLIAMENT

Dear family and friends

    We were asked to speak at a marriage equality rally yesterday (Saturday 26 November 2016) organised by Community Action Against Homophobia – what a great opportunity!

    The rally was held at Town Hall Square (which for us, and our community, is a significant location) situated between St Andrew’s, the Sydney Anglican Cathedral, and Sydney Town Hall. Both structures represent a certain era in architectural terms.

    However, the moral compass emanating from both these structures, for us, and our community, is vastly different. The former being extremely fundamentalist, male dominated, socially backwards, exclusive, and misogynist. The town hall, on the other hand, is mainly run by women, socially progressive, inclusive, and embracing diversity.
