VIDEO: What Electric Picnic remember about the day Ireland voted yes for marriage equality

Lovely memories

JOE

A powerful video.

“One of those days,” few and far between is how one person begins their description of the day that Ireland voted magnanimously for marriage equality.

And everyone has a different memory of the day that changed the history of Ireland in more ways than one. “I just remember Twitter exploding,” one person said. “The atmosphere was electrifying” another recollects.

“A combination of nostalgia and euphoria” another summarises and “a really good day” someone else finishes.

“Everyone deserves to love someone else, whether that person is a man or a woman” another person eloquently points out.

A video which combines a number of personalities and people from all walks of life to show a unification based on something profound and special.

“It was just all about the love”
