Australia's businesses come out!



Australia's businesses take out full-page ad backing marriage equality.



 On 29th of May 2015 Australia's businesses took out a full-page ad backing marriage equality. These 53 company's have  came out as non bigoted. 


Its great to see, its heartwarming. I can say with most of my family being homophobic, not having equal rights under Australian law, being vilified by political and pseudo-religious groups, its a real boost. It is a great feeling to see such support for equality.


The list of participating businesses is constantly growing. Its more than time we allowed all Australians to have equal rights.
Have you done your part? Its easy to participate, it will be amazing one day to tell the grandkids that you helped end this discrimination. Australian Marriage Equality website is a good place to start, There is also the trending #equalitycalling which helps you call your local MP.



 


When you have a little spare time why not peruse the advertisement, take a few seconds to send an email thanking those businesses who participated, maybe your bank is not included, ask them why not?
To all those who help fight for equality, for those who stand up to their own friends and family and say "that's not cool" to bigotry or homophobic comments. To those who take a few seconds out of their day to sign online petitions, share blogs (hint hint ), like and share Facebook posts, for those who do their bit for equality. You are appreciated, from one gay guy i just want to say;

Thank You
