The Marriage Alliance is an Australian lobby group based in Sydney, New South Wales which supports the definition of marriage between a man and a woman as found in the Marriage Amendment Act 2004 No. 126, 2004. According to the group's website, it "is an independent alliance bringing together individuals and organisations supporting a common cause. We exist to voice the opinion of the silent majority of Australians that respect same-sex attracted people, but do not want to change the current definition of marriage." They have campaigned vigorously against same-sex marriage.

Campaigns

They have conducted an extensive and controversial anti-gay marriage campaign in the media and on social media:

  • Ads initially accepted for broadcast by Channels 7 and 10, with management of those channels later deciding to not do so, were subsequently, and controversially, broadcast by Foxtel.
  • a 'rainbow noose' advert 'claiming that same-sex marriage will increase suicide because people who are against it will be bullied over their views if it becomes law'.
  • A YouTube presentation 'It's not as simple as you think'.
  • anti-Safe Schools pamphlets.

    • Other activities

    They have also

  • published articles attacking proponents of gay marriage, such as Totalitarianism And The Hypocrisy Of The Homosexual Agenda.
  • created an iOS and Android app to disseminate their material.
