Pressure groups for equal rights to marry have not come up with a strong public symbol.
This one is simple: a white knot.
Call the campaign: white knot, why not?
But it is just an American fad? Or can it be worn by us all, within a week?
No need to buy them: just pin a white ribbon made form a strip of white fabric.
And when asked at work, or at home, why you do it, simply answer that you believe that marriage is a human right, and that you are human too. And that it is time the government noticed.
Why not send one to your TD/Senator as well?

FAQ: where can I find the white knots?
Not the same as: White ribbon
Good idea!
I will wear one on the 22nd at the LGBT Noise March for Marriage.
Will you be selling them?
No, but we might just have some spare ones, and some spare ribbon to do your own!
