Saturday marked the day of the same-sex marriage rally here in Sydney. At least 1000 people marched for equal rights for same-sex marriage. It was amazing to see so many people gay or straight who turned out to fight for and have their voices heard about a basic right that other Australians enjoy!!
I took a couple of photos on my iPhone while we were marching from Town Hall, up Oxford Street to Taylor Square. It is the same walk as Mardi Gras and the same walk that was taken on the very first Mardi Gras which was not so much a celebration but a protest march against the ban on gay sex.
Will Anderson was the MC for the rally and was absolutely hillarious! All in all it was a great day and it was awesome to be a part of it! Lets hope that the future of Australia includes equal rights for all Australians!

It's times like this I miss living in Sydney. We seem to try in Adelaide, but we never get the turn out of Sydney. But I guess it all helps! Glad you had a great day!
