Want Equality? Have an iPhone instead!

Being a short film about homophobia, misogyny and the desire for equality and a call to all with techie talents to design or suggest an iPhone application to represent what you see below.

Recently, NOISE supporter Christina Murphy went to speak with Senator Jim Walsh about gay rights, equality and civil marriage. It was a real eye-opener - she learned that some elected representatives, despite being paid to represent the welfare of all their constituents, prefer to push views that belong more in 1909 than 2009.

Here's a flavour of what she learned:

Senator Walsh believes...

...that he should be able to call gay people 'FAIRIES';

...that women working outside the home are causing the breakdown of the family and psychological problems in young people;

...that the gay community should realise they simply DO NOT NEED marriage. They only want it because it's what other people have. It's just consumerism, a fad - a bit like an iPhone!

These are the views of someone who will get to decide if YOU should be treated as an equal, a human being and a citizen with the full suite of civil rights. Remember, as second-class partnership comes up for debate, that Senator Walsh doesn't even think that gay people should get THOSE basic protections!

Do you think his views are defensible?

If it makes you angry, spread this film far and wide.

If you disagree with Senator Walsh, LET HIM KNOW - let ALL your elected representatives know!

The message is simple:

EQUALITY NOW!

CIVIL MARRIAGE NOW!
