Same-sex marriage: Woman raised by lesbian parents supports plebiscite, wants children to have right to know biological parents, by Dan Conifer.

A young woman raised by lesbian parents is urging federal politicians to hold a plebiscite on same-sex marriage — and is not sure she would vote to support gay marriage.

Millie Fontana, 24, has been lobbying MPs and senators in Canberra, including addressing the Nationals’ partyroom. …

“I grew up initially without my father in my life and that was just challenging in the home,” Ms Fontana said. “I think children have this innate need to know who their biological connections are.”

Ms Fontana, who did not meet her father until she was 11, struggled with her identity as a child. “Fatherlessness and motherlessness do affect a lot of children,” she said. ,,,

Ms Fontana said she did not want same-sex unions to be allowed until laws guarantee children access to their biological parents.

She also wants a plebiscite held alongside the 2019 federal election, avoiding the $170 million price tag of a standalone Australia-wide poll.
