When it comes to marriage equality in Australia, currently the governments stance does not allow same-sex couples to marry, and essentially denies them and their families legal equality and perpetuates discrimination and prejudice.
But if you think that is the right attitude to have, just watch this moving and beautiful video from GetUp.
2,000,000 views. 38,000 Facebook likes. and all within 5 days.
What does that tell you? That the overwhelming majority of Australians support full marriage equality and it is the right thing to do.
Here’s just a few quotes from people who have watched the video
Makes me cry every time. Powerful and thought-provoking video
A great example of typical life of someone of the GLBTQ community. Im a Lesbian and I get harrassed or asked inaproperate questions almost daily. It’s not right and it takes a toll on you after a while being treated with such disrespect. It IS time. Thanks for making this wonderful video.
Bless all you who support equal rights for me.
As long as there is love, there is grace. Thats what I go by.
I love this video, I’ve watched it over and over again and just am hoping this is what i’ll get to live someday.
To the people who say it’s unnatural… the only unnatural thing is stopping someone from being what they are.
Now if you (like us) think that everyone deserves the right to be happy, in love and married like we do – regardless of gender, race or sexual preference, then please join the petition here or donate a small amount of help fund getting the ad on national TV
It’s time that we’re ALL treated and respected equally
