When Irish Ayes were smiling

Fellow citizens,

On the eve of Mardi Gras, a reminder of the overwhelming joy expressed in Ireland when marriage equality became a reality.

It's well past time for our Federal Parliament to get its act together and vote to end this discrimination.

Have a look at the banners that were being held up by the people and you'll see the word "EQUAL". That's what it's all about folks - equality. Surely that's not such a difficult concept to understand, is it?

"Only those who have known discrimination, truly know its evil." Noel Pearson.

"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly." The Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
