A very warm Seasons Greetings and Happy New Year to you all from the Equal Love team. We hope it is fun, relaxing and safe for everyone. A big thank-you to the many organisations and to you all that made 2009 such a big year in the fight for Equal marriage rights. The level of support overwhelmed us, but with the government and the senate choosing bigotry over equality, we must re-double our commitment and passion in the ‘year of action.’ We look forward to your ongoing support in 2010 and standing together, as one for equal rights.
