AUSTRALIAN MARRIAGE EQUALITY PARTNERS WITH FACEBOOK AHEAD OF MARDI GRAS TO DEMONSTRATE GROWING SUPPORT FOR MARRIAGE EQUALITY
Facebook and Australian Marriage Equality have partnered together to launch an exciting new initiative that allows Facebook users to visibly demonstrate their support for marriage equality ahead of Mardi Gras.
Australian Marriage Equality national campaign director, Erin McCallum, said,
“This profile picture frame initiative is a simple yet powerful and highly visible way for people to demonstrate their support for marriage equality.”
“The theme of Mardi Gras this year is “momentum.” Already, thousands of Australians are demonstrating the growing momentum for marriage equality by adopting this new banner to show their support.”
“The data from Facebook is clear; visible social actions like these from a diverse group of peers, colleagues, family and strangers creates a more tolerant and welcoming online community for all Australians. It leads to more LGBTI people feeling comfortable to come out to their friends and family, and it gives allies an easy way to show their support.”
“Already thousands of Australians, corporations, and politicians have updated their facebook profiles to show thier support for Australian Marriage Equality”.
“To change your profile picture and show your support for marriage equality, just visit the visit the Australian Marriage Equality Facebook page and click “try it” on the image featuring the profile picture frame”
