MARRIAGE EQUALITY

-



The Geek of Oz team firmly believe that all love is equal and we support Marriage Equality.

Many of our extended family, friends, and followers are fellow geeks and also part of the LGBTQI+ community. Sadly though in Australia, Marriage Equality is not available to the LGBTQI+ community.

Every member of the team personally feels that marriage is something that should be shared equally amongst everyone from all walks of life. The majority of Australians and many MPs in Parliament also believe this.

People know that in Australia we have values of a fair go and respect for all, and Marriage Equality is intrinsic to those values.

Around the world more than twenty countries have passed laws to allow Marriage Equality, including the United States of America, New Zealand, Canada, Germany and Great Britain. As seen in those countries, the world did not end when Marriage Equality was achieved.

If Marriage Equality is achieved in Australia, the sanctity of marriage will be fine, and the religious freedoms of people will not be taken away. Essentially if you’re a heterosexual person it won’t negatively impact your lives at all; the fear-mongering about this, seen in the Media and on Social Media, is ridiculous and unfounded.

The only thing that will change is that those in the LGBTQI+ community, your family, friends, and fellow geeks, will all have the ability to marry the person they love.

The Australian Bureau of Statistics will be conducting the upcoming Australian Marriage Law Postal Survey to determine where the Australian public stands on the issue of Marriage Equality.

We look forward to the day where everyone is able to marry the person they love.

Home Again review

Reese Witherspoon is having a moment and it’s a pleasure to see. It is so satisfying to witness that the actress who gave us the utterly original and terrifying, Tracy Flick, has still so many more surprises for us. That super sharp, full of intensity, scarily Machiavellian high-school girl (perhaps sociopath) promised an actress who does not hold back. Reese commits fully and with real vigour and we have seen this over and over again in roles like Legally Blonde  (the original is still so fun), Walk the line , Vanity Fair and more. Recently the critically-acclaimed and Emmy award winning TV series Big Little Lies which is sensational, as well as her role in it. In Home Again Reese has returned to the romantic comedy genre which she has championed in her career many times and sadly, to some questionable results. I know Sweet Home Alabama  is a favourite among many but sadly it did not ignite me. I am quite fond of Just Like heaven  with Mark Ruffalo (don’t judge) which I

Today I have the pleasure of speaking to writer Tom Taylor and artist James Brouwer, creators of my favourite book of recent time , The Deep: Here be Dragons.  In case you haven't heard, The Deep: Here be Dragons is the Aurealis award winning graphic novel from Aussie duo, Tom Taylor and James Brouwer, and the patriotic streak doesn't end there. This book is beautifully presented by the good folks at the independent Aussie comics company, Gestalt. Follow on after the jump and not only will you get an interview with some of Australia's best and brightest but you will get a look at some interior art and an EXCLUSIVE look at an all new piece of art from the forthcoming VOLUME 2, The Vanishing Island. Intriguing?
