At tonight's Aria awards Sia won Best Female Artist but instead of accepting the award herself, sent a friend in her place.
WINNER: @Sia - Best Female Artist - This is Acting #ARIAs #SIA
CEO of Stand Up Events and The Equality Campaign Ambassador Angie Greene accepted the award on Sia's behalf.
"No-one's lives and the people they love should be up for debate" - Angie Greene accepts @Sia's award. #ARIAs https://t.co/vjJnPOxrID
"This award is for every single non-hetero and gender diverse person who can currently not marry the person that they love in this country," Greene said.
"Bottom line is Australia, no one's lives and the people they love should be up for debate."
After Greene accepted the award the campaign's founder, Joshua Sasse, and his fiancΓ© Kylie Minogue took to the stage, also wearing Say I Do Down Under shirts. After speaking about the campaign, they introduced a performance by Troye Sivan.
Needless to say, those watching at home were loving the outpour of support for LGBTQI Australians.
