Equality supporters meet at Ettalong

Supporters of marriage equality met on Ettalong Beach on October 11 with Mr Tiernan Brady, executive director of the Equality Campaign.

Mr Brady was joined by Fr Rod Bower from Gosford Anglican Church and local residents Ms Carmel Underwood and Mr Joshua Maxwell.

"We're here to thank the amazing supporters of marriage equality in the Central Coast," Mr Brady said.

"It is because of their work that people can see marriage equality is about someone in their community.

"This is a simple issue about whether every Australian should be treated equally before the law," he concluded.

Fr Rod Bower affirmed his support of the campaign.

"I'm voting yes because I believe in marriage.

"Marriage is one of the cornerstones of our society.

"Especially if that couple are bringing up children together, to have that relationship recognised by law and culture, it is very important for their children.

"Many of the clergy, many of my colleagues, are very supportive of marriage equality because they too see marriage is important," he said.
