The momentum for marriage equality is building again, and events will be taking place around the country in coming months to progress the reform.
These events include two forums about the future of marriage equality. AME is keen to hear your views on the way forward for marriage equality so we are co-sponsoring forums in Melbourne and Sydney. Panel speakers will include Alex Greenwich, Shelley Argent, Rodney Croome, as well as representatives of local LGBTI advocacy groups and MPs.
