Marriage Equality Ads to Hit Australia
By Advocate.com Editors
Marriage equality advocates plan to launch television ads on Valentine’s
Day that will run throughout the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras
celebration, which ends in March.
The campaign is sponsored by the groups GetUp! and Australian Marriage
Equality, according to the Sydney Morning Herald, which talked to AME
spokesperson Alex Greenwich.
“The television campaign, ‘Marriage Matters,' which will run throughout
the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras, has been timed partly in anticipation
of an attack from the ‘cashed-up religious right’ in the lead-up to the
ALP's National Conference in December where the Labor Party plans to
reassess its stance on gay marriage, Mr Greenwich said,” the Herald
reported.
Greenwich said of the non-confrontational ad campaign, ''It's about family
and about putting a face to this issue.”
The campaign arrives as federal parliament members proceed with their plan
to consult their constituents about marriage. MPs reports mixed results
according to the Herald.
Last week, during a review of Australia’s human rights performance by 50
member states at the Human Rights Council in Geneva, Norway, where same-sex
couples can marry, recommended that Australia recognize marriage equality. |
