Today. Monica and I went into Dublin City to Dublin Castle. The results of the national referendum were being officially announced.
The city was alive with rainbow colours and joy. It is the start of a new age in our country. The people, led to a greater extent by the younger generation, have made their feelings and their values known. Not just to those who once dominated and directed not just our lives but our thoughts as well. But to the world. And it is a resounding cry for equality.
I tried to find an image that summed it up for me. This is the best I could do.
This father will be able to tell his child that they were there at this momentous occasion - when the old became new. And his child will be unimpressed (as they appear now) and ask "what's the big deal about people being allowed to marry whom they love - sure how could it ever be not so?"
And that's the difference that will be made by the people's decision. Tolerance, equality, love, maturity and understanding will become the norm, not an aspiration.
Today, for the first time in a long while, I am proud to be Irish.

Piece #15: I aim to not stereotype or judge, and I am SOOO not prejudice or racist in any way at all. I believe that we are all one race: Human.
Different colors, same object.
Humanity?

Homage to Krzysztof Kieslowski's tricoulor series of movies, "Blue", "White", and "Red".
Many thanks to my good flickr friend Maria for making the tryptich.

Taken in honor of this fantastic day when marriage was legalized in all 50 states —June 26, 2015
Half her face isn't painted because we still have a long way to go when it comes to LGBTQ+ rights. There is still an incredibly high rate of hate crimes, suicides, and homeless youths within the LGBTQ+ community. They still have to worry about discrimination in the workplace, housing, and whether they will be granted public services. There is still an overall lack of acceptance and respect among the general population when it comes to the LGBTQ+ community, such as disregarding preferred pronouns and rejection by loved ones.
Today was a great win for love and equality, but let's not ignore all the progress that has yet to be made.

I made this one for all my LGBT friends :) After bieng in England on vacation, it was really striking just how far behind America is. Although I am not a LGBT myself, gay rights is something I very strongly believe in, so I thought I'd make a photo representing it :)
Yesterday was a big day in California for same-sex couples who have been fighting for marriage equality. There was a huge marriage licensing event in the area and I snapped this shot of a couple waiting their turn in line - along with hundreds of others - to obtain a bona fide, bullet-proof marriage license.
I'll be watching comments closely on this one. I'm not soliciting a political debate here.

Annie Besant (1847–1933) was a remarkable English-born activist whose life bridged continents and causes. A socialist, theosophist, freemason, educationist, and champion of women’s rights, she devoted herself to struggles for freedom and equality. Besant was a passionate advocate of both Irish and Indian Home Rule, emerging as one of the most influential supporters of Indian nationalism during the colonial era. Her historic election as the first woman President of the Indian National Congress in 1917 marked a milestone in both India’s freedom movement and the global fight for women’s political leadership. Mr. Jinnah also worked with her on the Home Rule League.
"The equal value of all humans; the equal rights of all peoples". Human rights are literally being trampled in Sweden.
On the upper wall it is written: "Equality". For me, this word on this wall seems full of some kind of black-humoristic sense, 'cause back then in communism it was some-kind of true to the working class people, and nowadays it is false. There's no equality due to this human standing under the wall.
As a last step to total equality in our house I bought my wife these additional 11 cm. Now she is even the same height as me (and looks damn hot with them).
Strobist Info: 430 EZ right beside camera with 1/4 pointing directly at the scene. 580 EX II on the left side up on the stairs pointing inot the white wall on the right.
And then we get to eat it together. O yes, and I baked the cake on the BBQ. It was awesomely delicious!!
In New Zealand we're getting close to passing the bill that will allow couples marry regardless of gender or sexual orientation. This makes me very happy, so I drew a picture. You can read more about the process at www.marriageequality.co.nz/
