I am of the passionate belief that marriage doesn't belong to any group of society, but to all members of our community. Marriage is an important ritual between two individuals and symbolises and encourages commitment, fidelity and strengthens bonds.
To choose one person for life is not a light decision. It is something we should encourage as a society, and no matter what your sexual preferences.
I am so very glad that now marriage equality exists in Australia, and I have the opportunity to marry all kinds of couples, no matter their gender.
Australia has now voted, and I look forward to meeting and supporting couples in marriage within the LGBTQI community.
Check out the Marriage Equality website to stay tuned in and to be supportive.
