George's Street Mural

The controversial mural that went up last Saturday on George's Street has attracted a lot of media attention. The piece was put up to try and get voters to lean toward a yes vote.

I spoke with James McLoughlin who is one of the models in the mural.

"I'm so happy to be a part of this. Marriage is a right and I can't believe we're still having this discussion in 2015. The media attention I have been receiving is very over whelming - but in a good way!"

Though another graffiti piece outside the Bernard Shaw of two girls kissing to try and promote the yes vote was vandalised, this one on George's Street is still standing, though it was egged two days after it went up.

The vote is now just under a month away and I think that just before we come into May both sides are gonna get very messy.

The No side hasn't been too vote as regard marches and canvassing; they're mainly just putting up posters for why they believe the No vote should win.

I gave my opinion on the mural and referendum in this video below:
