These series of adverts make the issues accessable, especially to non queers. That's great. I wish they were a bit punchier though - 30 seconds and punchy. Could do with some script editing.

I think at the heart of the issue of equality for the Australian Government is the fact that marriage is seen as a sacred institution. That heterosexual love is 'sacred'....and homosexual love is 'lustful'. I know people who 'respect' gay & lesbian people's 'lifestyle' but that this 'lifestyle' is 'irresponsible' because being gay does not 'support' the 'family unit'. I think this is why Kevin rudd has not legalized gay marriage: they 'respect' our 'lustful' love but gay marriage does not 'support the family unit' so therefore our love is not 'sacred' & isn't worthy of same-sex marriage. Things To Know: 1. Being gay isn't a behaviour: it is a state of being. Did Ken Rudd 'choose' to fall in love with his wife Therese? No? Why would we be any different? 2. Denying gays & lesbians same-sex marriage is a 'lifestyle' - a lifestyle enshrouded in ignorance. 3. Love is not engendered. Love is a gift. Gays & lesbians deserve to 'unwrap the gift' -- (ie to get married) 4. Gays & lesbians are part of the family unit, too.

It was way too long and drawn out! But of course I love the message... Where is this going to be shown apart from online?? x

I reckon it needed to be drawn out to launch an in-depth rationale as to the hypocrisy of promoting equality yet falling short of actually delivering that same equality the Government thinks that they're enacting...:)
