The 61 years old member of the Nambour Branch of the ALP said she could not work for a party that supported ‘homosexuals marrying’.
Details of the letter have been leaked indicating Ms Rudd’s commitment to ending discrimination against same-sex couples, but opposing same-sex marriage.
"Homosexuals should be loved and treated right and they should not be discriminated against.
"It is a horrible thing for them to be discriminated against and that's why my brother introduced laws so they are not discriminated against.
"But to make that huge leap from their rights to breaking a commandment of Moses, to say homosexuals' relationships is marriage, is utter nonsense."
The Stand for Marriage Coalition has welcomed Ms Rudd’s stance saying it was a ‘big step’ for the former Prime Minister’s sister to lead the way in denouncing the ALP for their policy change on marriage.
Media Liason for the National Marriage Coalition, Peter Madden, said concerning Loree Rudd's stand, "It is a big step for a public figure such as the sister of the former Prime Minister Kevin Rudd to boldly lead the way in actively denouncing the ALP's betrayal of its members and supporters who uphold family values and natural marriage.
“It is our hope that Ms Rudd's example will encourage many thousands of other Labor supporters to make a similar public stand until the Labor Party realises it's folly and reverses its party platform to uphold the marriage act,” he said.
It is likely that Federal Parliament will debate the issue of same-sex marriage in early 2012.
