We finally received our “Until we all belong” marriage equality acceptance rings from Airbnb.
Until we all belong marriage equality acceptance rings
“This incomplete ring symbolises the gap
in marriage equality that we need to close.
“Until the day comes when two people who love each other can celebrate that love through commitment, will you wear this ring and show your acceptance of marriage equality?”
Airbnb on eBay have been overwhelmed with orders so there was a big delay (two months for us), and somehow we ended up with sizes too small (that’s why they’re on our little fingers). But they’ll do.
Absolutely anyone can wear these rings in support of the LGBTIQ community’s case for marriage equality in Australia. They’re free apart from $3.50 postage each.
Jenny and I will get married whether the law changes or not. Wearing the acceptance rings is our way of showing support for all the many other lesbian, gay, bi, trans, intersex and queer (LGBTIQ) folk who don’t have our advantage.
I’m happy to support the LGBTIQ community. I have been welcomed very warmly online and at face-to-face meet ups. These rings are a symbol of support. What I find most interesting is the overwhelming demand for these rings. This indicates to me that there are many of us out there who wish to be united in marriage who don’t currently ‘fit the bill’ so to speak. Let’s keep petitioning for no plebiscite on same-sex marriage: here: http://www.equalitycampaign.org.au/messagemp?
