THE Kings Cross Coke sign will be lit up in rainbow colours from 6pm tonight until the results of the marriage equality survey are in, with the company supporting the yes vote.
In a statement released today the company said it believed in the power of bringing people together.
“Whether it was the struggle for human rights in the United States in the 1960s to a group of young people from many nations on a hilltop in Italy in the 1971, around the world we’ve always stood up for diversity, inclusion and equality,” it wrote.
“We proudly strive for these qualities in our own business and support these rights for all in society.
“Every person has the right to happiness, so we believe it’s time for a change in Australia. No matter who you are or who you love, all couples should be treated equally.
“We understand that not everyone will agree with our stance and we respect people’s right to hold a different view.
“We hope they’ll respect our right to support our staff, their family and friends, and our customers and consumers so that all can share the simple happiness of being together.”
Ballots for the postal vote began being sent out today with households expected to start receiving them next week.
