A commercial released by GetUp!, an Australian advocacy group, features a clever short clip advocating for marriage equality. The clip is shot from a first-person perspective and takes the viewer through beautiful and difficult times with a handsome guy. Years seem to pass – vacation on the beach, moving in together, supporting each other through hard times, and then a proposal. The clip ends with marriage, and the camera angle switches so that the viewer discovers that the couple is same-sex. The message of the ad is clear – marriage is a basic human right that legalizes the love and lifelong commitment of same-sex couples.

Watch the video:
I’ve personally signed every single letter to all parties & reps about this issue…I am not intending to marry- but I want this equality because it is right.
Good on ya for putting it in your blog!
Cheers from downunder,
