GetUp! wants YOUR help to get this Equal Love ad on the air!


Being twin brothers, David and Paul look almost the same - except in the eyes of the law. 

That's because one twin is straight, and the other gay. That means one brother can marry his partner, but the other cannot. 

Paul and David star in our new video (produced with our partners, Australian Marriage Equality) to share a simple message: it's time for marriage equality for same-sex couples. 

Don't miss this Valentine's video -- and don't let your friends make up their mind about marriage equality without seeing it!

But the introduction of same-sex marriage itself will [...]
