The life journey that took Reverend Leigh Neighbour to Canberra today is one riddled with despair and rejection, but also unconditional love.
Having been with his partner Dennis for 31 years, Reverend Neighbour would love nothing more than to formally marry the love of his life, and see their relationship fully accepted under law.
That would mean simple things like being able to stand together with his partner in airport custom checks, or shed the de facto tag that complicates and often discriminates against their dealings with government organisations and insurance companies.
