Yes, LGBT couples can legally marry in Australia.
Same-sex marriage was legalized in Australia on December 9, 2017, following a nationwide postal survey in which a majority of Australians voted in favor of legalizing same-sex marriage.
This means that same-sex couples have the same rights and responsibilities as heterosexual couples under Australian law, including:
- The right to marry in a civil ceremony or religious ceremony.
- The right to adopt children.
- The right to inherit property from their spouse.
- The right to access government benefits and entitlements for married couples.
Since the legalization of same-sex marriage, Australia has become a leader in LGBTQ+ rights and equality.
