Gay marriage is one of the biggest hot buttons issues of modern times. We’ve applauded the states and countries who support it, and condemned those who continue to drag their feet. Now Australian activist group GetUp has added their voice to the debate with this moving advertisement.
It shows a snapshot of a life, the highs and lows, heartbreaks and triumphs, before finally offering footage of the big marriage proposal. The life seems perfectly ordinary, the images could have come from the existence of many young Australians. Except our hero is a gay man.
Right now he doesn’t have the happy ending the video promises, but its creators hope their work might change all that. If you share their vision you can sign the petition on the GetUp website.
