Thousands of people have come out to vibrant rallies across the country demanding marriage equality now, just a week before the Federal election. Several hundred people came out in Perth and had a sit down for marriage equality in the Murray St mall. Thousands turned out to Sydney's rally, which included a mass rainbow chalking on the streets.
Four thousand people rallied in Melbourne and held a mass illegal wedding outside Victorian parliament.
