Congratulations to Dame Kelly Holmes on coming out as gay. ๐ณ๏ธโ๐
Kelly's story shows that overcoming stigma to live proudly and authentically can take decades, and at huge personal cost.
We need to fight prejudice at every corner so that all LGBTQ+ people are free to be.
This is a good start but doesn't go far enough.
Couples should be able to get married anywhere outdoors with a licenced celebrant! It shouldn't need to be the venue that is licensed but the individual performing the ceremony.

Excellent news that outdoor weddings will be legalised with legislation on religious weddings to follow: https://t.co/tjyPBFD2Vl
But the Ministerโs talk of โpersonalised ceremoniesโ will only be achieved through fundamental reform of marriage law: https://t.co/p9BoFRMiHB
Such a beautiful evening wedding ceremony. Congratulations to Kerry and Foz. If youโd like your wedding to be extra special with a ceremony written just for you- then a celebrant wedding might be perfect for you! #wedding#engaged#celebrantwedding#givecoupleschoice
The failure to legally recognise weddings conducted by humanist and independent celebrants means that the Covid wedding backlog continues to have a detrimental affect on the industry and the couples involved. Law reform is desperately needed as I argue in: https://t.co/p9BoFRMiHB
It's #InterFaithWeek and #worldcelebrantsweek this week. Serendipitous fact: Did you know that independent celebrants are the only celebrants who can officiate mixed faith weddings? All the more reason to #givecoupleschoice
