Cosmetics company Lush and marriage equality campaigners Legalise Love are today hooking up in a "kiss in" in the name of equality. All are welcome to join the “kiss and tell” protest, by puckering up for equality outside any Lush store in New Zealand at 1PM. A petition will be circulated in support of marriage for same-sex couples and calling for the government to end discrimination. Lush and Legalise Love are urging the Government to take either the Marriage (Definition of Marriage) Amendment Bill or the Marriage (Equality) Amendment Bill out of the member's ballot and through the parliamentary process. Lush Campaigns Manager Megan Taylor says the company believes everyone should have the equal right to marry the person they love. “Many of our staff, customers, friends and family are not given the same rights as everyone else and we felt, for the sake of our friends, we had to challenge this injustice.”
