Sydney Park to be Renamed in Commemoration of Same-Sex Marriage Vote

Clover Moore, the Mayor of Sydney, has passed a motion to rename part of a prominent Sydney park to “Equality Green” in commemoration of the same-sex marriage vote last November, reports the Daily Telegraph.

Last year thousands of Australians gathered at that part of the Prince Alfred Park, anxiously awaiting the announcement of the vote.

“It was wonderful when we heard the results,” said Moore, who’s electorate responded with a resounding 84 percent “Yes” vote, the highest in the country.

“Cheers and jubilant shouts of ‘yes’ rang out across the park,” she said.

Moore added that the new name for the park would “record forever that very historic moment when, across Australia, 60 percent of Australians voted for marriage equality.

“Love had won a landslide victory.”
