GIANTS Chief Executive Officer David Matthews has written an open letter to reiterate the club’s support for marriage equality.

On behalf of the GIANTS, I would like to take this opportunity to reaffirm our commitment to supporting marriage equality.



The GIANTS are an organisation for all. All races, cultures, genders, religions and all marriages. We are a truly inclusive organisation that values the diversity of our people and our communities.

We see no place for any form of discrimination and we are proud to advocate for change in our country’s laws to reflect the progress of our people.

While we recognise the right for individuals to make a personal choice we also recognise the right of our lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) players, supporters and staff to play and enjoy sports without experiencing prejudice and discrimination.

We have long been supportive of marriage equality - it was back in 2013 that we as a club publicly pledged our support when the ACT's same-sex marriage laws came into effect - and we are an official signatory of Australian Marriage Equality.

We urge anyone looking for more information on this important issue to visit www.australianmarriageequality.org and for any members of the LGBTIQ community who are also fans of the GIANTS, we acknowledge the Rainbow GIANTS and the work they are doing in the community.

David Matthews
