So much for equal marriage!

Sydney mayor vows to make all gay weddings FREE if same-sex unions are legalised – but straight couples will still have to pay up.
A Sydney mayor has vowed to make all gay weddings free if same-sex marriage is legalised by the upcoming vote.
Labor’s Darcy Byrne, who has just been appointed leader of Inner West Council, wants to give same-sex couples the opportunity to use public halls and community centres to house their nuptials for the first 100 days after the unions are legalised.
The inner-west has one of the largest LGBTQI communities in Australia and Byrne is hoping the move will ‘lead the charge for civil rights’, Bega District News reported.
‘I will ask that our newly elected councillors formally endorse a recommendation that we make our facilities available for same-sex marriage celebrations, and that we actively invite and welcome couples wanting to use our halls.’
In a Facebook Live session Cr Byrne publicly announced he was using all the council’s resources to back the yes campaign.
