GetUp! Australia’s gay marriage ad to run in US for elections push
Julian Shaw in GetUp!'s 'It's time' gay marriage ad
GetUp! Australia’s popular pro-gay marriage ad is to air in the US to back the American marriage equality movement ahead of elections in November.
‘It’s time’, a same-sex love story that ends in a marriage proposal, first launched in Australia in November last year in the run-up to the Labor Party national conference.
An edited version of the ad is being used by a non-profit named after GetUp!’s film, It’s Time Marriage Equality, which is trying to raise US$100,000 (AU$96,000) to fund airings across the country.
It’s great to see Get Up giving the USA a helping hand. The local TVC has great appeal and connection. I have been a long time member of Get Up, they do a good job here, taking it up-to the old political parties. Nice job.
Great that this will get airtime over there, I still don’t understand why if New York can do it http://macarthursmutterings.wo.....can-do-it/ why on earth it can’t be done here….
Ads like this make me a very proud supporter of GetUp!
