In a secret meeting last week, Australia’s Prime Minister banned members of his party from voting ‘Yes’ on marriage equality. It was a dirty move.
But a few brave politicians have promised to take a stand for love and vote 'Yes’ anyway. If a few more rebellious politicians join in, marriage equality could have enough support to pass.
So that got us to thinking… imagine if members of Parliament could see beautiful photos of gay and lesbian couples who HAVE been allowed to marry – like in the UK, Canada, and the USA – just before they’re deciding what to do. It’d remind them of the global wave of marriage wins and show that the tide can’t be held back.
All Out members from around the world sent in photos to make this beautiful video. If enough people chip in, we can buy an advertising slot on Sky News – a channel that streams inside Parliament. The powerful message could get enough politicians to join the rebellion and vote 'Yes’ on marriage equality.
Maggie, a 3rd grader from Texas, has a lot to say about marriage equality - and she sent her thoughts to congress:
“Dear Congress,
Would you like it if someone wouldn’t let you get married to a person you loved of your own gender? No. So why are you not letting people do that? That needs to change, and it needs to change now. Would you rather me send letters all year? Or you listen the first time? Your choice.”
For those that don’t kno I support straight, gay, && lesbian marriage. Why? Bc I feel if I want to marry the woman of my dreams one day and be happy in love then damn it I should be able to. I’m not bothering you :) ❤ #HumanRights #love #MarriageRight #equality #MarriageEquality #free #straight #lesbian #MyLife

Dear humans. These are my brothers. All 3 of us are in same sex relationships. Yep, that’s one big queer rainbow family. Fabulous, I know. Our beautiful parents are in full support of the way their children are experiencing love, so you can imagine our dismay at the reality of having to sign a form that questions our permission to share love. This feeling is utterly obscene. Marriage equality should NOT be a question. Check your mailbox. Vote YES. Don’t question the love - Spread the love. #marriageequality #voteyes #loveislove #queerlove ✨
Just picked up some organic teething biscuits for our goddaughters and remembered this pic from our elopement! #loveislove #marriageequality #samelove #lgbt #gay #lesbian #sienaandtoast
I try to stay positive and share that positivity with you all. If ever there was a time where I might say screw it all and use my gifts to become an outlaw, supervillain, rogue hacker, or worse.. a politician.. it is right now.
If you support the GOP and are cheering the America they are trying to create then we are not friends..
Leave my account.
If you think I’m overreacting..
Leave my account.
If you won’t listen to the millions who are hurting because you are still comfortable and it doesn’t affect you..
Leave my account.
I’m going to actively work against the war they started against anyone that is not a cis man of a certain race and a certain tax bracket.
Recognize the GOP you once supported has been hijacked.
Stop voting in white conservative men for anything at any level until they get the message. Register to vote NOW if you are not.
Women who are married to far right conservative men.. I’m sorry.. but for LOVE’s sake.. DON’T LET THEM DICTATE WHO YOU VOTE FOR. Don’t vote because of one single issue only. We need to change the entire landscape of who is in power.
#election2020 is here. All of these things are at peril, if Trump is re-elected. We can’t stress it enough. If you’d like to keep the rights we have now, #dontboovote - VOTE!
