Cattle ranchers want marriage equality in Australia

For Dan and Miki, a couple of cattle ranchers from Australia, marriage equality is about rights. They have been together happily for years, but for them the chance to get married would seal the deal. "Commitment is showing you’re willing to work together, to get through whatever it is you’re going through. Getting married would be a way of demonstrating that" - the two men said in a video promoting the #EqualityCampaign. The majority of Australians and parliamentarians back marriage equality but the debate around the marriage equality plebiscite in Australia has never been more fierce, and many LGBT allies are calling for the plebiscite to be called off in favor of a vote in parliament. Arguing that a plebiscite would be hurtful, expensive, divisive and unnecessary.
