With the proposed same-sex marriage plebiscite just around the corner, weโve gathered some of our favourite Aussie and non-Aussie celebs who have previously spoken in favour of marriage equality.

โCan you please explain to me why we are still talking about marriage equality in 2017? Can we just have an answer about why same sex marriage is still not legal? Knowing that other people donโt have the same rights makes me feel angry, powerless and very disappointedโ โ Jessica Marais

โThe other thing I want to say about Jersey is they need to get on the New York bandwagon and legalise gay marriage. But I think everybody should do that. Itโs not a specifically Jersey thing.โ โ Anne Hathaway

โThe reason weโre not rushing to get married is because I donโt feel appropriate taking advantage of a right thatโs denied to my best friends. Thatโs why weโve been so hesitant. Dax and I have talked about it a lot, and this issue is very important to both of us. Weโre just standing up for what we believe in. Period.โ โ Kristen Bell

โTo be honest, as an Australian who travels a lot, it makes me feel ashamed of my country. People are always saying โI canโt believe you donโt allow gay marriageโ and all I can do is agree. Itโs embarrassing.โ โ Jesinta Franklin

I feel great embarassment that our federal law recognises heterosexual marriage as a basic human right, yet regards same-sex partnerships as inferiorโ โ Asher Keddie

โWhen my friends talk about marriage and how much marriage equality means to them, you can see the pain on their faces. Thatโs not something you can argue with.โ โ Waleed Aly

โIf you like it you should be able to put a ring on it #WeWillUnite4MarriageEqualityโ โ Beyonce

โI was stoked. I mean, I was stoked that that happened. I think itโs just . . . weโre people and weโre different, all of us. And we should be using our differences to bring ourselves closer together . . . it was a great, great victory for equality. Iโm proud that New York has balls to stand up for whatโs right.โ โ Justin Timberlake

โBut everybody in hip-hop discriminates against gay people. Matter of fact, the exact opposite word of โhip-hop,โ I think, is โgay.โ Like yo, you play a record and if itโs wack [sic], โThatโs gay, dog!โ And I wanna just come on TV and just tell my rappers, just tell my friends, โYo, stop it fam.โ โ Kanye West

โThis is such a huge step forward in our countryโs fight for civil rights and I hope that today this will give hope to so many young people across the country. Weโve never had a president so supportive of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community and today I am proud to be an American!! Iโm so happy that our country is making history and moving forward.โ โ Kim Kardashian

โI donโt think anyone has the right to tell someone who they can and canโt be in love with.โ โ Guy Sebastian
