DEVIL IN THE DETAIL: The choice between true marriage equality and new forms of discrimination against LGBTI Australians


This new book by long-time marriage equality campaigner, Rodney Croome, asks the question, should the LGBTI community compromise on marriage equality? Should we accept being allowed to marry in return for new laws that allow us to be discriminated against?


The book looks at what compromises are likely to be proposed, how they will be put forward under the cover of "religious freedom", how they will be defended and why we should not accept them. 


Rodney also considers who has the right to make the difficult choices at stake.


Australian commentator, Peter van Onselen, has written,


“I don’t think churches should be compelled to marry gay couples if it’s against their belief systems, but a Christian baker refusing to bake a cake for a gay wedding sounds pretty bigoted to me. These are issues worthy of further debate.” 


Rodney Croome's book is an important contribution to that debate.
