“I appreciate my wife every day,” she writes. “I can’t imagine calling her anything else.”
She added hashtags #WifeAppreciationDay #AustraliaMarriageEquality and #VoteYes.
Australia is holding a non-binding, nationwide postal survey on marriage equality. If the majority of the country votes in favor of it, as polls suggest they will, the parliament is expected to take up the issue.
