FREE T-Shirt to Those Enrolled to Vote from Gorman

29016

With less than 24 hours to go until the enrollment period for the postal vote on national marriage laws closes, Gorman is out to gather last-minute sign ups.

The label has just announced it’ll be giving away free ‘Love is Love’ T-shirts, in order to spread the word about marriage equality and help foster as many ‘yes’ votes as possible.

The T-shirt takes artwork from Gorman’s Spring collaboration with Monika Forsberg and is available in limited quantities at all of Gorman’s Australian stores.

If you’d like to score one, simply head into a Gorman store tomorrow (August 25) and present a screenshot of your verified enrollment details. There are 5000 tees in total up for grabs, so you’ll want to head down early.

To make sure you can have your say on whether our marriage laws should be changed to allow same-sex couples to marry, head to the AEC and update your details or enrol by midnight tonight.

          Yes, I do know that is possible. I think she got it right the first time.

  • did I mention about law at all? i mentioned about nature. and same sex can make babies without help! how stupid that statement would be.

    • +2

      how stupid that statement would be.

      dont know…but you're giving it a good attempt.

    The shirt was out of stock within half an hour of opening (so the store assistant told me) at the Carindale (Brisbane) store. I didn't stand a snowball's chance in hell when I turned up at 10.35am.

    Cant wait for the yes vote to get obliterated

    Free propaganda shirt!

    • +1

      Correct me if im wrong but the shirt says love is love..where is the propaganda in there???

      • -1

        That statement can apply to almost anything. Including things you would likely find abhorrent.

        It's propoganda because it appeals to emotion, not reason.

        • I love my pet fish too, Love is love.

  • +8

    Guys I can respectfully vote no

    • May I know the reason?

    • +5

      I respect your decision but it is really sad to see people 'respectfully' not respect the minority.
      People just don't realise the vote itself is a discrimination. It gives the majority of people to decide the fate of the minority and then say they are doing something that is equal to everyone. But in fact it is not, it is not deciding whether EVERYONE can get married. It is just unfair.

      • +5

        Exactly. Debating and having the right to say yes or no to tell other people what they can do or can't do is derorgatory enough. Top of that some of the awefull comments here. My life is not joke.

        • Well, you have to admit… you're biased, LOL.

      • +3

        Politicians could and should have decided on this a long time ago. No survey was needed.

        • They have, many times. It's just always been no.

      • It's called a democracy. It has its positives and negatives but surely would be preferable to other forms of government?

        • +4

          democracy

          Well, that survey is not part of the defined democratic process in Australia, but rather a stunt by the government.

          They need to get rid of the topic as it makes them a too easy target at next election time. But they don't want to pass the legislation themselves.
          So they prefer spending millions and causing a huge public controversy, just so they can say "it wasn't us, it's democracy" to their conservative voters and "we passed same-sex marriage" to the supporters of it.

          It would actually be their job to decide (or not) on that topic.

          It's nothing but a marketing stunt. A pretty selfish one.

      • People just don't realise the vote itself is a discrimination.

        Don't see the need to be forced to respect other people's lifestyle. If you want to form a gay union, go ahead; no one is stopping you.

        Can't there be two legalised unions? Is it possible?

  • +3

    Wow I can't believe with some of the comments here. Regardless of your stand it's a free shirt tho imo it should say targeted i cant find anywhere it says tou should say No to SSM it only requires that you should be enrolled. Some people is like ssm is No for me, i will negged this. It only shows how uneducated some people are.

    Most of us grow up dreaming of the day we marry the one we love. Why the (profanity) should I or anyone else be able to tell another person who they can and can't wed?

    The fire behind some of these opinions makes me sick.

    • +5

      Why the (profanity) don't people have the empathy to understand that others value tradition.

      • +1

        Explain your tradition.

        • +5

          I never referred to myself but this tradition, being the well-accepted understanding in the Western world that marriage is a union of man and woman, means a lot to a lot of people. I feel we should have empathy for their position, even if it is not always articulated the way we would like.

        • +2

          @artfuldodger:

          Nobody wants to stop anyone from living their traditions and celebrating their marriage between a man and women.

          Traditions don't need to be followed by 100% of the population to remain traditions.

        • +2

          @artfuldodger: Strategically Australia is not in the West tho most politicians have Western backgrounds. Having said that most Western nations allows ssm and society is continuouly evolving. Bear in mind that 2000 years ago Rome is not the same place like what we know it today.

    • +3

      Why the (profanity) should I or anyone else be able to tell another person who they can and can't wed?

      You're right, let's have a free for all and throw open marriage to anyone and anything because that is what you are asking for.

      The fire behind some of these opinions makes me sick.

      You like a democracy except when you are not getting your way!

      • +2

        Explain me how the democracy work when majority vote for minority issue? Ofcourse it will be always in the majority's way.

        • +2

          It's a majority voting for a majority issue, and that is marriage.

  • +3

    As the tshirt says "Love is love" regardless of marriage status. You don't need to get married to love.

    • +3

      Yes.
      Heterosexual people don't need to get married to love either.
      But LGBT people should have the same right to choose, by themselves, whether to get married or not rather than having no options.

      Voting yes and allowing SSM do not mean gay couples must get married, it just gives them the equal right to choose their own way.

      • +1

        Actually, nothing in the Marriage Act is prohibiting a gay man from getting married.

  • +3

    i love my dog

    • And your point?

      • -1

        I wonder why you were negged. He has no point that's why @maximum dag Unrule is irrelevant.

      • -1

        what is the definition of love? i was wondering about the T-shirt that's all.

        now this is totally about children's rights and how messed up the "law" is people have to study for years to become proficient at a select vocation and then learn from others about how to get better at it.

        then in the matter of raising a human child any fool can have a child and pass along the scars and wounds to that child of century's of alcoholism , sexual abuse, physical & emotional abuse just to name the top few, and the cycle continues.

        now we want to start a new cycle of abuse and history will show what we thought was a good idea at the time now has to have a prime minister stand up and say sorry, well sorry isn't good enough.

        i don't care if homosexuals can get married our not none of my business but when a child is going to be involved and more innocent people get the fabric of their being used for another's wants then i have to protect the person who can not protect themselves, have we done intensive 100 year study on what and how this will affect the innocent and then out in to the rest of society.

        what this vote should be about is have we learnt from the past so we can change our futures, i vote every human being who is going to have a child has to do a full time 4 year course on how to be a healthy responsible parent , and why would i want that well just have a bit of a look around and if you cant see anything wrong you need to do the parenting course and if you can then you need to do the parenting course.

        we have all these rules and regulations and not one of them involves teaching parents about how to be a healthy functional parent.

        so by all means have homosexual marriage.

        but as soon as children become involved we have a sorry coming 50 years down the track..

          Im confused now. We are voting for same sex marriage. What's it got to do with parenting and children rights?

        • -2

          @pinkfour: that's right you are confused.

        • +3

          bro I hate to break it to you but homosexuals can already have kids in Australia, and the sky hasn't fallen on our heads.

          Not sure what you're going on about with this abuse business, are you somehow conflating homosexuals with Catholic priests?

        • @44sunsets: ignorance is bliss I get it.

      • +1

        that the 'love is love' slogan is pointless.

  • +1

    "According to the 2011 Census, there were around 33,700 same-sex couples in Australia, with 17,600 male same-sex couples and 16,100 female same-sex couples. Same-sex couples represented about 1% of all couples in Australia."
    Not all of them will want to get married so again the impact is further reduced. Point what ? of all couples.

  • +3

    Who needs a postal vote, let's just do an ozbargain poll. After all we are all about saving money

  • +2

    I will be joining the NO voters.

    • +1

      And the reason?

  • +4

    If I was voting yes I don't think you would be asking me for a reason. Since you asked I will be voting no because allowing same sex couples to marry is against my beliefs. Apologies if you find that offensive.

    • +1

      What belief is it against this exactly?

    • +1

      Ofcourse I wont be asking the reason if you vote yes because your no vote going to affect my life or anyone like me. If my vote going to make other people's life better I would. May I know what's your belief that allowing SSM will change?

    • +2

      to marry is against my beliefs.

      excellent.
      Can you also list all your other beliefs so we can ensure the rest of society has to live by them…

      I'm really over this idea of being a diverse society, and think its time we just pick one person and their beliefs and enforce it across the entire country

      :/

      • +2

        Or should we all live by your beliefs that gender is irrelevant in a union? hmmm

        • +3

          Or should we all live by your beliefs that

          people should be treated equally, regardless of their sexual preference?

          nope, never going to catch on, and treating gay people like their a sin and unnatural sounds like it would be more to your liking.

        • +1

          @SBOB:

          I can accept them, without accepting their lifestyle choices.

      • +4

        As a Christian I do not support same sex marriage. We live in a democratic society so we can all have a say in this.

    Quote Chopper "Whinge, whinge, fkn whinge"

    • Quote Chopper "all those funny looking homosexuals"

      i think he would have voted no.

  • So many triggered lefties in this thread

      how do you know whose left handed or right handed?

      • by the hairs on the palms

  • +2

    Im glad I get to vote NO on this. That way if polticians do end up legalising it after, I can atleast accept the result for what it was and democratically voice my choice.

    Imagine if the government said, we have alot of muslims in the country now, should we implement Sharia Law for muslims (postal vote). I bet all these "love is love" "don't discriminate against minorities" "let them be free" tossers will be voting NO to that.

    I just find this whole YES movement hypocritical and incocnsistent.

    • +1

      Because the NO camp are so very dignified:

      If you're going to talk about two completely different issues, why not have:

      Imagine if the government said, we have a lot of Muslims in the country now, should we ban Sharia Law (postal vote). I bet all these "tradition", "religious history", "my belief" tossers will be voting YES to that.

      I just find this whole NO movement hypocritical and inconsistent.

      • -1

        Different issue, but I think a more similar question would be "Should Australia law be changed to include
        Sharia law"

        I think the whole Yes movement is simply illogical and irrational.
