A mural on George's Street in Dublin campaigning for a Yes vote in the upcoming marriage equality referendum has been hit by the weather, and is worse for wear as a result.
The mural, depicting two men in an embrace, has been up for the last few weeks in Dublin, but the wind and the rain last night took their toll on it and ended up literally defacing one of the people in the image.

This is not the first time that one of the murals or works of art campaigning for a Yes vote has been damaged, but it appears that this was different to the last incident, where a similar piece in Dublin was painted over recently by a vandal.
