Amnesty Int. says vote yes for marriage equality in Australia

Pledge to vote yes here

Some think Amnesty International shouldn't get involved in wanting gays to be able to marry, arguing ridiculously that it's not a human rights issue. There was a very viscious reaction to a page put up some months back in the reply section on Amnesty supporting same sex marriage. That they supported Amnesty in everything else but not this. I made a comment or two in favour and was summarily called a sick paedophile, and to "get help". Amnesty ended up taking the whole page down a couple of days later it was so vile.

Of course it's a human rights issue. Equality before the law is in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Tell a straight person they can't get married because they're straight and I'm sure they'd be on about their human rights being violated.

Australians are coming together like never before to say YES to equality under the law. 


Right now, Australian LGBTQI couples don’t have the freedom to express their love and commitment to one another through marriage, but we have a chance to change that and with your support, we can win. Are you with us? 


Now that the postal survey is happening, it’s up to each of us to make pledge to say YES to marriage equality in Australia. Keep an eye out for the mailing form in your letter box, but in the meantime make a pledge to vote YES. 


YES to equality before the law, YES to fairness and YES to all Australians being able to marry the person they love. 


 This is for the people we love. Our friends, families, neighbours and colleagues. Join us and thousands of other Australians in the fight for marriage equality now. Let’s win this! Pledge to vote yes with Amnesty Int.
