Last year, I shared a 2-minute video that GetUp! Action for Australia put together. It’s a brilliant love-story that is told through the eyes of the man being filmed. Only at the end of the video is it revealed that the person on the other end of the camera is also a man. He kneels down and proposes to his husband-to-be. The message is quite simple: Love is love.

Earlier this month, another video was posted on YouTube inspired by that initial video. This time, it tells the story of life, love and loss using the same technique. The only difference this time is that the video features two women.

Both of these videos highlight the fact that love is love. Committed same-sex couples have the same ups, downs, happy days and sad as opposite-sex couples.

Thank you to both videos for telling this story so eloquently.
