Gay and lesbian couples across Australia and around the world want to marry to publicly share their love and commitment with one another and with friends and family members. As a bi-national same sex couple for many years, it is imperative that marriage equality is recognized at both the State AND Federal level for innumerable reasons, including the critically important immigration rights which will be granted to prevent us being torn apart. Without marriage equality, THOUSANDS of same sex couples worldwide, including Ruth and I, will be required to choose whether to live together abroad in exile, or be ripped apart. Not only is marriage equality the 'right thing to do', as the head of Morgan Stanley recently stated, it's also 'good for business' in New York and for the Nation as a whole. Equal = Equal. United by Love, Divided by Law. Simone L. Petersen & Ruth Acosta

Simone Petersen is so very glad she decided against stopping off for a couple of chocolate martinis on her way to 'ALL FALL DOWN' at NYMF (the New York Musical Theatre Festival) following some 'WISHFUL DRINKING' with Carrie Fisher at Studio 54 on Broadway.
