Supporting organisation the Christian Federation argues on its website that changing the definition of marriage would have “dire consequences” for Australia
The organisation says that on;y 2.5% of Australians are homosexual and the majority within the gay community do not actively support marriage equality.
In a video on the Unity Australia Facebook page, the group calls on supporters to come out and “make their mark on history” and not to let “a vocal few change your future”.
Join with 1000’s of Australians & show your support for the current definition of marriage.
