No stranger to the power of Youtube, Shelley Argent has launched her latest campaign for equal marriage rights in Australia.

She wants to harness the collective power of not just gays and lesbians, but their Mums, Dads, family members and friends.

Taking inspiration from the very positive “It Gets Better” campaign, Shelley moves it in a slightly different direction with an eye for action by inviting all marriage equality supporters to talk directly to their leaders, politicians and political parties.

Shelley gives a great example speech with the launch message directed squarely at Julia Gillard reminding her that “it was once tradition that as a married female we automatically became the husband’s property and generally had limited rights including the right to vote, let alone become our countries first female prime minister; choosing to live in a defacto relationship.”

Shelley also encourages viewers to upload their own videos, an opportunity to tell their own stories and why they expect better from their representative’s current position on marriage equality.
