Dear Senator Crossin,

I would like to make a submission to the Inquiry into the Marriage Equality Amendment Bill 2009 in support of marriage equality for same-sex couples.

The Marriage Act 1961 (Cth) is a civil law which applies to all Australians. I believe the Marriage Act should be amended to ensure same-sex couples have equal rights to marry in Australia. I believe section 88EA of the Marriage Act should be repealed so that overseas same-sex marriages are recognised in Australia in the same way as opposite-sex marriages between consenting adults.

It is time to ensure that discrimination against same-sex couples in the Marriage Act is removed.

Yours sincerely,
