Young Nats to lobby for marriage equality

The Young Nats support marriage equality and will be lobbying National Members of Parliament to do the same.

"Our generation overwhelmingly supports marriage equality for all New Zealanders and our Members of Parliament need to vote with that in mind," says Young Nats President, Sean Topham.

"We believe in freedom and equal opportunity for all Kiwis and our generation clearly agrees. Marriage equality is a no brainer," says Topham.
