Max Townes wants marriage equality for Chris Hemsworth

Sydney’s recent marriage equality rally was a flurry of signs and love as 30,000 people marched down Oxford Street in favour of the ‘yes’ vote.

But one young boy stood out from the crowd with a disco of rainbow-coloured hair and a sign so sweet it has now gone viral online.

Marching alongside his family, 12-year-old Max Townes held up a placard with the words ‘All I want is the right to marry Chris Hemsworth. You’ve got five years until I’m 18, Australia! You too Chris!’

His mother Megan Townes posted the photo to her Twitter account and instantly received a flurry of well-wishers – particularly from those hoping Mr Hemsworth himself would see the post.

Speaking to Daily Mail Australia, Max, who is a talented artist, decided to draw a picture of himself on the piece of cardboard and asked for help from his mother to colour it in and write the correct wording.

‘We combined both our talents to make it happen you could say,’ he commented.

While most of the reactions online have been positively heartwarming, there is ‘the odd ten percent that have suggested my mum forced me to do this,’ the 12-year-old said

To complete the look he wore a shirt to the rally emblazoned with a PlayStation controllor and the word ‘gaymer’ on it.

‘It’s basically a combination of the words gay and gamer. Of which I am both,’ Max said.

While most of the reactions online have been positively heartwarming, there is ‘the odd ten percent that have suggested my mum forced me to do this,’ the 12-year-old said.

‘When I see people saying that I just kind of laugh. Most of them can’t seem to spell anyway.’

In terms of what makes Chris Hemsworth so appealing to Max, he said it all comes down to that jawline. The cheeky youngster has even changed his bio on Instagram to read: ‘I’m still waiting for you Chris Hemsworth, you and your smexy jawline’ (pictured with his mother Megan)

Hemsworth is yet to reply: ‘I’m distraught he hasn’t answered yet. I’m walking under a rain cloud,’ Max joked

Mr Hemsworth is a devoted supporter of same-sex marriage and has been encouraging Australians on social media to vote yes in the postal plebiscite.

Daily Mail Australia has reached out to Chris Hemsworth for comment. 

While the placard was a chance to get Mr Hemsworth’s attention, Max is more than satisfied that the result has been to encourage other Australians to get behind the cause and cast their vote.

The results of the postal vote will be made public on November 15.
