This is why I am Voting Yes
Vote Yes so we can embrace difference. Vote Yes so we end the “us and them” attitude. Vote Yes so girls stop avoiding black taxi drivers. Vote Yes so that foreigners aren’t “stealing all our jobs.” Vote Yes so my dad isn’t a “paki bastard.”
Voting Yes is as much about gay marriage as it is about reconciling our differences, and getting on with the business of living equally side-by-side.
(My father isn’t Pakistani, but hearing that as a child, I never really understood why they thought being Pakistani was an insult. Such ignorance.)
