Hollywood stars Chris Hemsworth and Russell Crowe have joined pop star Kylie Minogue in backing a vote to allow gay marriage in Australia.
The three celebrities urged their countrymen and women to ensure they were signed up for the same-sex marriage postal survey which asks: “Should the law be changed to allow same-sex couples to marry?”
Minogue wrote on Twitter: “Aussies! #loveislove & it’s for everyone. Today is the final day to make sure you’re enrolled. Don’t wait!”
