This wonderful video urges you to #RingYourGranny for marriage equality

One segment in particular left us with a lump in our throat

One segment in particular left us with a lump in our throat.

On May 22nd, Ireland will vote on whether or not same-sex couples should be allowed to marry in this country.

The Trinity College Students Union have put together this moving video, urging young voters to speak to their older relatives about the upcoming referendum.

Both sides are represented well, and there’s one touching moment where a young man’s father tells him, “when it’s your turn, I will walk proudly and stand beside you whether it’s a church or registry office or wherever the hell it is. I will stand proudly beside you.”

Gulp.

Very well done to all involved in making this,.
