FINANCE Minister Penny Wong has laid down a challenge to Julia Gillard and the federal Labor Party over the legalisation of gay marriage.

Senator Wong today backed a motion passed at the ALP conference in South Australia for a federal policy change in favour of gay marriage.

The openly gay senator from South Australia seconded an amended motion by the Florey sub-branch at today's conference.

In doing so, she broke her silence over the national debate on equal marriage rights with a deeply personal speech about the need for the Labor Party to respect the principles of equality.

An amendment moved by dominant Right factional head senator Don Farrell to water down the motion, to one of wider consultation, was defeated by two votes, 90 to 88.

Senator Farrell warned that federal Labor would lose power if there was a change to the policy.
