Speak Now

Australian Perspectives on Same-Sex Marriage

About this book

A collection of essays, reflections and personal stories from 'enthusiasts, acceptors, sceptics and hesitants' showing the passion and depth around the issue of same-sex marriage. Over thirty writers, a mix of activist and reflective voices, explore the legacy of the 2004 changes to the Australian Marriage Act, which now states - and which must be stated at every wedding - 'marriage is between a man and a woman'.
