How moving!!!
The fight for marriage equality around the world is FAR from over, but equal rights just took a GIANT leap after New Zealand legalized same-sex marriage yesterday.
Those who filled the public galleries of the courtroom to witness Parliament vote to permit same-sex marriage in a 77 to 44 vote were so excited that they burst into song!
The crowd sang New Zealand’s indigenous song Pokarekare Ana to serenade the bill’s brave sponsor, lesbian Louisa Wall.
Ch-ch-check out the extraordinary moment (above)!!!
And cross your fingers with us that ALL of the US will soon follow in New Zealand’s fair footsteps!
