The caption reads:
"Dear open minded, free speaking, laid back, life loving aussies. Marriage is about love and commitment and, in a country based on equal citizenship, it should be available to everyone! Vote now for marriage equality."

Following the anti-gay protests popping up all over Australia, celebrities urging the not-so-inclined young population to vote during the upcoming plebiscite could tip the scales in marriage equality's favor. Australian citizens can register to vote here.
