 A Melbourne rally against homophobia last Saturday,
organised by National Union of Students (NUS) and supported by the queer
departments at a range of tertiary institutions, “exceeded all expectations”
according to NUS Queer Officer, James Vigus.
The event, protesting against the Rudd government’s ban on
same-sex marriage and its anti-student union stance, was well attended by
university and secondary school students, and also concerned members of the
public.
Vigus reports that hundreds of people signed the NUS
petition for equal rights at the rally, as well as donating funds for the
national student conference, Queer Collaborations, to be held at Melbourne
University next month.
