Your voice is important – Can you help?
The Labor party has just announced that they will be lending their support to a motion by Greens MP Adam Bandt, which will require politicians to canvas the views of their electorate on same-sex marriage and other issues affecting people of diverse sexuality and gender.
Read more about the announcement here: http://bit.ly/cptO7s
Now, more than any other time, politicians will have a direct reason to think about the issues affecting same-sex attracted and gender diverse people. It is vital that the voices they hear are yours.
We need your help, to show these politicians the real community support for same-sex marriage, mental health funding, and gender identity recognition in Australian law. Too often the vocal minority of those opposed to a fair go are the loudest voices heard.
Please take a couple of minutes to express you personal views and experience, using the GetUP! online tool to find and email your local MP:

Thankyou for taking the time to get the real voice of the community heard!
