Australian singer Kylie Minogue and
fiance Joshua Sasse won't tie the knot until gay and lesbian couples
can marry in Australia.
UK actor Sasse, 28, said Thursday in
Vancouver that he and Minogue, 48, would like to marry in Melbourne.
“There are chances of a Melbourne
wedding … [but] we will not get married until the law has passed in
Australia,” Sasse
told Network Seven.
“When I found out that gay marriage
was illegal in Australia, I was astounded.”
“I simply can't fathom on any level,
whether it's moral or religious or anything, that I have the right to
get married and to marry the person that I love and that somebody
else doesn't because of their sexual orientation,” Sasse added.
The couple has been vocal in their
support for the “Say I Do Down Under” campaign in support of
marriage equality.
The Australian government has proposed
a public vote on the issue to take place in February.
