HUGH JACKMAN and OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN have thrown their
support behind a campaign to legalise gay marriage in Australia.
The Hollywood actor
has given his backing to a campaign by the Australian Marriage Equality
organisation which aims to give same-sex couples the right to marry Down Under.
Grease star
Newton-John, who was born in England before moving to Australia as a child, is
also supporting the movement and says in a statement, "With respect to marriage
equality, I believe that no-one has the right to judge and deny couples who
love each other the ability to make a marriage commitment. Love is love."
Australian Marriage Equality
representative Alex Greenwich tells the AAP, "Australians admire celebrities
like Olivia Newton-John and Hugh Jackman because they reflect our values of
tolerance and a fair go for all, values which they are reminding us apply just
as much to same-sex couples as to other Australians."
