Call to action over Melbourne City registry
The proposed Melbourne City Council relationships registry may fail without your support.
The Melbourne City Council's proposed Relationships Register (allowing same-sex couples to register their relationship) is still not a reality. Dozens of letters arguing against the register, but only two in support, have been received by Melbourne City Councillors. We need to let Council know that our community supports same-sex relationship recognition.
1) SEND AN EMAIL NOW
Send a short email of support now to enquiries@melbourne.vic.gov.au
Suggested content:
- Same-sex couples are just as loving and committed as heterosexual couples.
- Same-sex couples require legal and social certainty to organise their lives together.
- Recognising same-sex couples does not threaten heterosexual relationships or families.
-Same-sex couples are our family members, colleagues, neighbours and friends.
- Similar schemes around the world have been successfully implemented.
- Relationship recognition is not marriage.
- Melbourne City Council should provide leadership for a diverse and inclusive community.
2) ATTEND THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING
Attend the Melbourne City Council Community Services Committee meeting to show your support. The Victorian Gay and Lesbian Rights Lobby will make a formal written submission and oral presentation on behalf of our community. We encourage you to tell your personal stories of discrimination and why this scheme would remedy the situation.

Date: Tuesday 13 February
Time: 7:30pm
Address: Melbourne City Council Meeting Room.
Access via Level 2, Town Hall Administration Building, 90 Swanston Street, Melbourne.
