Next weekend (Dec 3) Australia’s governing Labour Party will be deciding whether to change party policy to endorse gay marriage.
Watch the ad.

towards a reality based theology
Oh, I so hope they change and start to endorse it. That ad made me tear up, so sweet. Hopefully it will show the viewers just how similar gay people are to them.
Interesting you say it made you “tear up”. That was my reaction exactly - even though I had read about it, and knew exactly what to expect.
I’d love to know what is the reaction from people seeing it for the first time, who don’t know until the end that it’s even about marriage.
Yeah, exactly! It moved me even though I knew where it was going. Thanks for sharing it with us
I saw it for the first time about 9 days ago on my friends’ Facebook status. I read that it was pro-gay marriage, but I have seen several of those and I was not expecting much. Emotional advertisements dont get a lot of play in the US, so most rely on pleas and rationalization; and are all extremely brief.
At the end, I didn’t tear up. I flat out started bawling. Seriously. There are only two things that can make me cry without controlling the impulse; and I just found a third one. I wanted to show my roommates but I knew I would start crying again, and I am still afraid to watch if for a second time. It shook me so much I almost decided to come out to my parents….then I remembered why I haven’t yet; but it really got to me because I have never seriously considered doing that before.
