Overview
In what's set to be a lively discussion on a current political hot-topic, four international authors will be debating the pros and cons of gay marriage at the Sydney Writers' Festival event, Why Get Married When You Could Be Happy?.
Thrashing out controversial and thought-provoking insights into the civil rights issue will be Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit author Jeanette Winterson, champion of gay liberation Dennis Altman, author of The Family Law and senior frankie contributor Benjamin Law, and Russian-American journalist and author Masha Gessen.
Taking place at Sydney's Town Hall on Saturday, May 19 from 6pm, the debate is part of this year's Sydney Writers' Festival and will be facilitated by writer and broadcaster Annette Shun Wah.
