ebel aurora | map data witch<p>Yesterday, I went to Queer Space Heidelberg to see The 34th, a documentary about the campaign for same-sex marriage in Ireland. In reality, it’s more about Marriage Equality, the organisation, rather than the wider movement. That’s fine, but it does mean some of the most important parts of the campaign aren’t mentioned at all. </p><p><a href="https://moytura.org/tags/Ireland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Ireland</span></a> <a href="https://moytura.org/tags/MarRef" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MarRef</span></a> <a href="https://moytura.org/tags/Heidelberg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Heidelberg</span></a> <a href="https://moytura.org/tags/LGBTQ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LGBTQ</span></a></p>
