Fair Day A Reminder Of The Need For A Fair Go For Same Sex Couples


Yesterday in Parliament, I again raised the issue of ongoing discrimination faced by same sex couples.


I also drew attention to the fact that this Sunday, 18 February, is Fair Day.


In Parliament, I said:


“On Sunday, I will be attending Fair Day, a part of the Mardi Gras festival, and planting a heart at Victoria Park under the theme ‘All love is equal’.


The Mardi Gras festival is a celebration for the gay and lesbian community in Sydney.


It is also important to recognise that discrimination continues to occur against the gay and lesbian community in a range of areas including the recognition of their relationships.”


I will be at Fair Day to plant a heart with the Gay and Lesbian Rights Lobby at 2.30pm.
