Marriage equality
More than 100 writers, artists, directors, lawyers, commentators, and public figures have signed Australian Book Review’s Open Letter, declaring their support for marriage equality. Signatories include David Malouf, J.M. Coetzee, Helen Garner, Neil Armfield, Geraldine Brooks, Robyn Archer, Kip Williams, and Brett Sheehy.
‘The debate is about equality – no more, no less. Gays and Lesbians serve in our defence and police forces, they educate our children and work in our hospitals, they entertain us and illuminate our lives through literature and the performing arts.

The Open Letter is published in ABR’s October Environment issue, and can be accessed here.
