Dogs go rainbow for marriage equality in Sydney
Love is love, even doggos know it.
A casual 30,000 people (and a handful of progressive dogs) marched for marriage equality in Sydney on Sunday, to show their support for same-sex marriage in Australia, ahead of a national postal vote on the matter.
Rally organisers have said the Sept. 10 event now sits as the largest LGBTQ demonstration in Australian history, a declaration reported by ABC.
And nothing sells a positive social message like a dog in rainbow, a strong truism not overlooked by rally attendees. Many a doggo donned the spectrum on Sunday, sparking just as many Instagram posts:
The rainbow pooch-flanked rallies came after Australia's High Court handed down a decision to allow the federal government implement a postal plebiscite on the matter of same-sex marriage.
The non-binding, no-compulsory survey will ask the question: “Should the law be changed to allow same-sex couples to marry?” The survey results will be announced on Nov. 15.
Expect more rainbow doggos in the weeks to come.
