I wrote the following in 2015 and I am so happy to say that finally in Australia all people can validate their love in Marriage. I now have had the pleasure to perform 3 Same Sex Marriages and would love to do more. It is so exciting to be able to declare them Married. Love does not discriminate, Love conquers all, Marriage can now be the chosen way to show the depth of love between two people.
New Zealand Same sex Marriages in Australia are treated as de facto unions under the Australian federal law, though each Australian state and territory is entitled to create their own laws with respect to same-sex relationship registers and same-sex partnership schemes. Same-sex couples are prevented from marrying by the definition of marriage contained within the federal Marriage Act (1961). Maybe it is time for Australia and maybe have Queensland lead the way with legalising Same Sex Marriages. There is myriad of same sex couples going to NZ to commit to their partner. What a way to make the Sunshine Coast and Noosa the place to come to get married and have a wonderful holiday. Same Sex Marriages in Australia? It won’t happen overnight, but hopefully it will happen soon…………..
