Equal rights rallies on 28 November
On Friday following the end of work, I walked down George St listening to the raucous sounds of a woman on a megaphone, yelling out something or other. Intrigued, I walked across the road, to find to my surprise that she was yelling out for same-sex marriage rights, and that there would be a rally on 28 November. It turns out that there are to be a series of rallies that day for same-sex marriage rights.
The Brisbane rally, under the banner of “Equal Love. Equal rights.” is sponsored by:
- Australian Marriage Equality
- Rainbow Labor
- QUT Student Guild
- Equal Love
- Metropolitan Community Church
- National Union of Students
There will be similar rallies in other capital cities. The purpose of the rallies will be to launch the year of action for same-sex marriage rights.
