Sketch comedy legend Magda Szubanski has come out in support of legalising same sex marriage in Australia. And I mean come out come out.
The adored television luminary ostensibly outed herself in a terrific and hilarious statement she made to advocate equality. Szubanski’s announcement was timed perfectly to coincide with yesterday’s introduction of two bills seeking to legalise gay marriage proposed at Federal Parliament.
Magda said, “I am 1000 per cent in favour of gay marriage. We pay taxes, fight wars for this country, nurse you when you are sick, make you laugh, sing and dance for you, play netball for you, star in your movies, cook your meals, decorate your store windows. And, chances are, gay people designed whatever it is you’re wearing.”
“All Australians, including gay Australians, should have exactly the same rights, including the right to love, marry and take care of our partners. The law as it stands means that you could be a serial killer and have killed all of your spouses and yet you would still be considered fit to marry.”
Good point.
We would follow Magda into battle any day, If not for her rational and irrefutable case for marriage equality but because she gifted us with the unforgettable ‘Chenille’ and we owe her that at the very least.
