The Queensland Government will move to rectify the law which forced people who had undergone gender reassignment to divorce their partner before their gender was legally recognised.
Section 22 of the 2003 Births, Deaths and Marriages Registrations Act will be changed now that same sex marriage is legally recognised in Australia.
Attorney- General and Minister for Justice Yvette D’Ath says the law has been unjust and unfair to members of the community that were forced to choose between their marriage and their gender identity.
