Irish people are sharing touching photos of their families in support of marriage equality
EARLIER THIS AFTERNOON, Amnesty International’s Colm O’Gorman called on people to share photos of their families in order to highlight just how diverse Irish families are.
He kicked things off with this lovely photo.
And then loads of people joined in and shared family portraits under the hashtag #FamilyMatters to illustrate all the different forms Irish families come in.
Whoops!

The hashtag was created to coincide with today’s launch of Mothers and Fathers Matter‘s referendum campaign, which is calling on people to vote no in the referendum.
Peruse some more of the family photos here.
