With marriage equality achieved across the United States, America’s largest marriage equality advocacy group, the Human Rights Campaign, has launched a campaign to focus world attention on the lack of marriage equality in Australia.
The Human Rights Campaign has joined with Australian Marriage Equality to raise the profile of the Australian marriage equality campaign, informing its supporters that “all eyes are now on Australia”.
Australian Marriage Equality national director, Rodney Croome, said,
“We welcome the Human Rights Campaign’s support for the Australian campaign because it will muster support across the world and highlight how far Australia is falling behind.”
“Now marriage equality has been achieved in the US, all eyes will be on Australia with the hope we are next.”
The HRC has notified its millions of supporters of the fact that Australia is lagging behind the US and plans to work closely with Australian advocates over the coming weeks to help raise the global profile of the Australian marriage equality campaign.
