Magda Szubanski reminds to post Yes vote

In an email from The Equality Team, Magda Szubanski reminds us to get our Yes votes in the mail. She also points out just what marriage equality means for Australia.

From the email:

I also wanted to make sure I took the time to remind you what we’re working for. This is about the kind of country we want to live in. It’s about making sure all Australians are treated equally before the law — and that’s not just an abstract issue. 


It has real effects. Like my friend who was denied the right to comfort the woman she loved most while she was going through cancer treatment. There is no world where that’s fair, and we can fix it so simply. 


My family always taught me you should do everything you can to make the world as fair a place as you can. And that’s what YES supporters have been doing in our campaign for marriage equality.

And this from the Australian Conservation Foundation:

Martin Luther King once said: 


"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly." 


That's why we're speaking out today. That's why we think two people in a loving and committed relationship should be allowed to get married.
