SAME-sex couples from Moorabool were among those who took to the steps of the State Library in Melbourne on Saturday to protest for same-sex marriage rights.
It marked seven years since the Howard government passed the Marriage Amendment Act, instructing that marriage was purely the union of a man and a woman.
The rally came after the Prime Minister reiterated to the Weekly that the government did not plan to legalise same-sex marriage.
“We have, as a government, gone out of our way to equalise treatment for same sex couples under the law … we’ve made sure that the treatment for same sex couples is the same as for married and defacto heterosexual couples,” Ms Gillard said.
