Hugh Jackman is the latest Australian celebrity to come out in support of marriage equality.
With the country now voting on same-sex marriage, the Wolverine star is explaining why he and his wife, Deborah-Lee Furness, are showing support for the “yes” vote.

Every bit of support for the yes vote is a tremendous help.
Recently, in Sydney, protesters held a “Straight Lives Matter” rally.
Additionally, retired Australian tennis pro Margaret Court came out against marriage equality, while claiming that the LGBT+ community wants to “destroy marriage.”
On the brighter side, both Aussie actors Chris Hemsworth and his brother LIam have shown their support for same-sex marriage.
