The opponents of marriage equality have claimed that the survey on marriage equality is about everything from education programs, to freedom of speech, to fighting political correctness.
We know that the call for equality is simply just recognising the love between two people, and their desire the formalise that commitment before their friends and families.
As we fight for the right to be able to get married to our loved ones, we’re sharing stories of LGBTI couples, and we want you to send us your story, like many couples have already done.
Meet Ashley and Alysha.
Who are you?
Alysha & Ashley.
How did you meet?
Ashley: Through the girl she used to see!
How long have you been a couple?
10 months.
What’s your favourite thing about each other?
Ashley: I can’t just pick one. But if I did, I’d say the way she annoys me until I give her the attention she wants – ha ha!
Alysha: Everything!
What has been a big moment in your relationship?
Getting a house together, knowing this is just the start of forever.
Why do you want to see marriage equality in Australia?
Because who doesn’t want to see everyone treated equally. We aren’t any different to the person who lives next door.
How do you foresee your wedding day?
Ashley: Alysha wants me to wear a dress but I’m 100% wearing half dress half suit just so it’s a win win for both. As long as our closest friends and family are there to share the special moment with us, I’m happy with anything.
