If you’re wondering why #TheStoryOfYes has been trending on Twitter, it’s because the RTE 2 documentary about the marriage referendum touched everyone’s hearts.
Honouring the anniversary our nation said YES to same-sex marriage, RTE documented the true battle people faced in Ireland in fighting for equality.
From people bursting into tears to an overwhelming feeling of pride, the programme got everyone talking:
