joint statement by 23 community health orgs supporting marriage equality

cohealth has joined 22 metropolitan and regional community health organisations from across the length and breadth of Victoria have today and issued a joint statement in support of marriage equality.

Victoria’s community health sector has a long history of supporting marginalised communities and advocating for change that will reduce health inequality. Today’s public statement arises from a deep concern about the health impacts of a potential marriage equality postal survey on the health and wellbeing of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex and queer (LGBTIQ) community.

Today’s statement is an expression of solidarity and support to our many LGBTIQ staff and clients in the context of the current debates.
