The results of Australia’s same-sex marriage postal survey are in, with almost 62 per cent of respondents voting in favour of giving LGBTIQ+ people the same goddamn rights as everyone else.
Australia’s creative community had rallied together even before the surveys were posted out to everyone on the electoral roll, with many local musicians using their public profiles to call for marriage equality over the past few years.
Since the results were published this morning, many have shared their thoughts, reflections and celebrations online, so we’ve collected 16 of our favourites — the ones we think contain heartfelt messages of unity, positivity or just overwhelming emotion.
The fight isn’t over yet, but equality just got one step closer.
