Same-Sex Wedding At New Zealand Fashion Week

Same-Sex Wedding At New Zealand Fashion Week

As the USA finishes up its celebrations of independence, on the other side of the world entrepreneur and fashion designer, Annah Stretton is launching a campaign to further equality in the pacific by holding a same-sex wedding on the catwalk of New Zealand Fashion Week.

New Zealand made history as the first country to give women the vote and will continue its law changing repute next month when same-sex couples will legally be able to wed. Annah is now calling on Australia to follow our lead by changing its laws and ceasing the discrimination of gay couples.

“We will look back on this and think of it as archaic as women not having the right to vote or blacks and whites being forced to travel on different sides of a bus,” says Annah Stretton. “Preventing couples who love each from marrying because of their gender is discrimination at its fullest.”

About Come on Oz, Say I do

'Come on Oz, Say I do,' is a campaign launched by New Zealand fashion designer Annah Stretton in-conjunction with Fashion Week, to help Australia say 'I do' at this year’s coming election.
