Now, ten years on, we remember that spirit. In a time of growing global fear and division, we come together again to say: this is who we are. We believe in human rights. We believe in equality. We believe in democracy. ​ Marriage Referendum+10 is a chance to reawaken the hope and unity of that day and to bring it forward into the next ten years.
