Tasmanian Greens leader Nick McKim led a motion in the state’s parliament to give in-principle support to same-sex marriage.
“We should value difference and diversity, and devalue discrimination.”
Tasmanian Greens leader Nick McKim’s words captured the message delivered by Australia’s smallest state today that it is time for marriage equality.
In an unprecedented move, the Tasmanian House of Assembly, passed a motion (13-9) to give in-principle support to marriage equality. In doing so, the last state to decriminalise homosexuality, became the first, at least in part, to endorse full relationship equality for same-sex couples.
