Dear Gai,
You have been a help to me with my friend in prison. Thank you for this.
I write this letter because I feel, as a gay man, that marriage equality is important. My brother was able to marry the woman he loved, but I have not been able to do the same with the man I love here. This makes me feel that I am less an Australian than he is. Does gender decide our Australian identity? Does it confer special legal benefits?
I hope that if the issue comes before you, you will help those of us who want equality and breadth of human life.
Many thanks,
James Loftus
