Sydney, Dec 3, 2011: Thousands marched on the Australian Labor Party national conference demanding equal marriage rights. The ALP conference adopted policy supporting equal marriage rights for same-sex couples but also voted to allow ALP members a "conscience vote" on this matter in Parliament. The crowd was not impressed withn this and vowed to continue the struggle.

@fanofjapanandmusic Yeah thats a good point, thanks for enlightening me :D

@bushpigification Im glad that you support. But this is MUCH MORE than marriage. Many gay people feel in the dark because of many different reasons caused not because they are gay per se, but because of bigots that send hatred .
"Small things" such as marriage equality , allows for less prejudice and a sense of belonging to the rest of America.
This is in NO WAY a small thing, surely you wouldnt say civil rights for blacks or women were small. This is the same.

I know you want to be seen as equals within society and you totally deserve it, but marriage is the least of our worries at the moment... why not protest this HUGE government, who continues to give themselves wage increases every year and who are letting all the mining companies come over and rape our country?
Marriage is so trivial in comparison to the other things that will effect us for years to come.

thanks for sharing the video. We got so caught up in the rally that we ended up taking no photos ourselves. I can see myself, my partner of 9 1/2 years and my equally gay brother from 0:50 holding the rainbow "EQUAL MARRIAGE RIGHTS NOW" placards.
To all who who were there, even those there in mind and heart, thank you for your support of marriage equality for all.
I asked my partner to marry me on our 9th anniversary, he said yes.
Now we just want to say "I DO".
