Marrying a Nation – Alex Greenwich

LGBTI Community, News & Politics

At 36 years of age, Alex Greenwich is a busy man.

It was a by-election in 2012 that saw Alex Greenwich take over from Clover Moore as the independent member for Sydney in the NSW Legislative Assembly.

Prior to running for office, Greenwich was the national convener of Australian Marriage Equality (AME).  Although relinquishing that role when he entered NSW Parliament, it was the Federal Government’s proposed plebiscite on marriage equality that saw him return to AME.

Alex flew to Argentina to marry his partner Victor Hoeld in 2012, but his determination to see marriage equality for all Australians remains steadfast.
