Thousands march in Sydney to protest gay marriage ban

Thousands of people marched on Sydney's Town Hall today calling for the Federal Government to legalise same-sex marriages.

Greens senator Kerry Nettle said today's rally, which began at Taylor Square in Sydney's east, marked three years since the Howard government decided against legalising gay marriages.

A colourful, noisy crowd then marched down Oxford Street after Senator Nettle condemned the Federal Government's latest proposal to ban gay couples from adopting children from overseas.
