#SayYesToLove Volume 1 is available to download from this morning, 17th of July 2015.
Australian musicians have come together to support marriage equality with the innovative #SayYesToLove Project, a diverse yet harmonious celebration of love and respect.
#SayYesToLove Volume 1 was launched this morning and is now available to purchase here.
Ivan Hinton-Teoh, Campaign Deputy Director for Australian Marriage Equality, said,
“Every day Australians are finding new and innovative ways to get behind the marriage equality campaign. I am delighted to be part of #SayYesToLove and I hope it inspires more to find their voice to champion for equality.”
The album’s executive producer Michael McGlynn said,
“Everyone should have the right under the law to marry the one they love. Australian musicians, bands and artists stand together with Australian Marriage Equality to #SayYesToLove.”
Contributing artist Jimmy Barnes said,
“This is about basic human rights. No one has the right to tell someone who they can love, or how they can express their love. Love is about caring for, and sharing your life with the one you love, and if the act of marriage helps to make that connection stronger in the eyes of the people sharing that life or in the eyes of the law then they should be encouraged, it should not be made more difficult.”
