We the undersigned believe you should stop fighting against civil partnerships. The Civil Partnership Act represents a long struggle for Queensland's LGBT community. Despite the concerted efforts of those in the community and their supporters, marriage equality has still not been achieved.
Civil partnerships are not equivalent of same-sex marriage. That is an issue which must be decided at a national level. The bill you intend to repeal only provides the LGBT community with some of the rights and recognition that heterosexuals often take for granted.
Repealing the Civil Partnership Act would be harmful to Queensland. Please do not bring your Civil Partnerships Repeal Bill before parliament if you are re-elected.
