Dear Rob,
I know a lot of gay voters in the electorate.
You're a reasonable guy, you probably recognise that the majority of the population supports gay marriage.
It's one more step to removing state sponsored discrimination, which will eventually help to reduce homophobia. That means that students at schools in rural Australia won't have to deal with the same level of consistent abuse as the gay students I knew at Chatham High.
I hope we can all count on you to push for marriage equality.
Yours sincerely,
Michael Kelly
I sent one to Joe Hockey also, but using some more flavored language, as he was recently reported making some unsavoury remarks about gays in the media.
