Activities
On Wednesday, 15 November 2017, Equal Love and Ali Hogg held the final Equal love event in front of Victoria's State Library, Melbourne CBD. Speakers included Sarah and Jac Tomlins, as well as Jason and Adrian Tuazon McCheyne, both couples who sparked the controversial amendment to the marriage act in 2004, by attempting to get their Canadian marriages recognised in Australia. Results announced confirmed that 61.6% of people who participated in the non-binding postal survey voted 'Yes' . Hogg was one of several, prominent LGBTI activists recognised for their efforts advancing the cause of equal marriage rights in Australia, with her recent nomination for the Inspirational Women of Yarra awards 2018. The nomination celebrated how "For over a decade Ali has been instrumental in advancing marriage equality in Australia as the convener of Equal Love, Melbourne. She has shown extensive organisational support to minority voices and ensured that Equal Love rallies and forums were accessible for people with disabilities. The victory in winning marriage equality was due to years of campaigning and a mammoth effort by people such as Ali."

Education and career
Hogg studied at the Victorian College of the Arts and became a freelance photographer, a profession she considers "paradoxical", as it includes some wedding photography. She is also a member of the grass roots activist group Socialist Alternative.
