Yes Rally for Marriage Equality
Fly a rainbow flag to demand marriage equality, give one last push for a 'Yes' vote and support all LGBTI+ Australians.
Overview
On September 10, Sydney staged for a huge public rally through the city streets, flying rainbow flags (and dogs) to demand marriage equality and campaign for a 'Yes' vote.
Support group Community Action Against Homophobia, who ran the rally, urged Australians to campaign for a 'Yes' postal vote. With the majority of Australians (a whopping two-thirds) supporting marriage equality, the rally was expectedly stacked — in all, organisers have estimated that a massive 30-40,000 people rocked up to show their support for all LGBTI+ Australians.

And on Saturday, October 21, Sydney is set to do it all over again. It will be one last rally to urge the country to vote affirmative before the ballot closes on November 7. So send off your vote and get marching. Wear rainbow. Be loud.
