Marriage Equality. The answer is YES! I don’t jump up on the soap box very often and so when I do you can rest assured that it’s subject matter that I am SUPER passionate about! On Friday night I was kickin’ it at home after hectic week working on the social media strategy for the launch of a new app, when it struck me… Why the hell hadn’t I recorded an episode of my show about Marriage Equality? It’s a basic human right! Being an ex Emirates flight attendant with LOADS of mates who are LGBTIQA, I am super passionate about the #MarriageEquality vote in Australia and want to be able to utilize my Hot & Delicious: Rocks The Planet weekly iTunes entrepreneurship podcast and social media presence to raise awareness for the vote and the need for Australians to take part in the upcoming Marriage Equality vote. More than 760 million people countries around the world live in 23 countries where same-sex marriage is already a legal right. How are we not on board already?? Fact. We were the 2nd country in the world to given women the legal right to vote (yep, New Zealand beat us again 😃). How are we so far behind now?? I immediately shot a text to my home-boy Craig Mack, who is a Social Media Strategist (TEDx Sydney, The Pinnacle Foundation, UTS), model with Wink Models, blogger, brand ambassador (Beyond Blue, R U OK?) and openly gay Sydney man, to join me and create an exclusive show about #MarriageEquality and the upcoming plebiscite vote to legalise gay marriage in Australia. We discuss his childhood growing up in Coffs Harbour as the son of a drug dealer and drug addict, a hilarious and heartfelt True or False quiz about the facts of Marriage Equality, hot pink pants on a Sunday, his exploration of his own sexuality and sexual orientation, some of the wicked content we’ve seen about Marriage Equality including Tim Minchin's 'I Still Call Australia Home’ Marriage Equality plebiscite parody, to Audible's "Listen to Love” six-part audio series that the platform partnered with The Equality Campaign to create, exploring marriage equality in Australia, LGBTQIA teen suicide prevention and MUCH much more. Honestly, this is one of the most, beautiful, honest and wonderful shows that I have ever had the pleasure of recording. I hope that you enjoy it as much as I do!
