Marchers remade the shortlived pedestrian crossing with chalk over a blocked-off Oxford St ahead of a vote in Parliament that could legalise samesex marriage next week. Photo: Ann-Marie Calilhanna Deadline for gay marriage vote NATIONAL Alex McKinnon Gay rights advocates and politicians are gearing up to push a same-sex marriage bill with a slim chance of success to the floor of Parliament next week. As the Star Observer went to press, federal Parliament’s Selection Committee was debating when to bring the bill to the floor. While advocates are hoping for a vote on Thursday, June 6, the bill may not be voted

Rudd posted a lengthy statement on his website on Monday night detailing his change of heart and throwing into question the numbers for a potential new vote on the issue in the House of Representatives on June 6. “I have come to the conclusion that churchandstatecanhavedifferentpositions and practices on the question of same-sex marriage,” Rudd wrote in the post. “I also believe that this change should legally exempt religious institutions from any requirement to change their historic position and practice that marriage is exclusively between a man and a woman. “Forme,thischangeinpositionhascome about as a result of a lot of

Some of Australia’s leading LGBTI rights advocates, including former High Court justice Michael Kirby and pioneering academic Dennis Altman, are concerned about the direction of the country’s queer rights movement. Issues such as Sydney’s recently removed rainbow crossing have become lightning rods for activists while actual attempts at reform such as the Sex Discrimination Amendment (SDA) bill, which will give LGBTI people protection from most discrimination at a national level for the first time, have received little community attention. Community leaders were asked if we had our priorities right considering just nine individuals wrote in support of the SDA bill while hundreds of people chalked Sydney’s footpaths on Monday night in s
