Description

In a huge step forward for human rights, the Australian Federal Government recently reformed 85 laws to give equality to same-sex couples. But law is dull and difficult to understand. So using Government funding, our brief was to explain the 85 reforms to same-sex couples and share the celebration across Australia.

Execution

We turned each of the law reforms into something everyone could wear with pride: A T-shirt. WEAR IT WITH PRIDE began with leading artists translating the law reforms into 85 T-shirts. We inspired them with a colour, a law reform and stories from same-sex couples. Then famous Australians joined to PR a reform T-shirt. All activity drove people online to get informed, buy the T-shirts and become human billboards. Each T-shirt had a designer's rationale to empower the wearer to talk law, e.g:Q: What's your T-shirt about?A: It's celebrating new equal immigration rights for same-sex couples. There's 85 law reforms - find out which ones fit you?
