This photo of a defiant kiss in front of a No protestor is going viral

This photo of two women kissing next to a No protestor is going viral after being shared on Twitter.

The photo, taken by James Delaney, shows a man, shouting and holding a sign saying 'God Says No– Nature Says No, Vote No' - in reference to the upcoming marriage equality referendum - on College Green outside of Trinity College Dublin.

Speaking to breakingnews.ie, James explained how he managed to capture the moment:

"Basically, this man was having a no campaign outside of Trinity along with another man who was across the road. The other man remained silent though while this man spoke his mind and also recited text from the Bible," he said.

"A lot of Trinity's Students Union came out in force to support the yes side. I left and returned about 20 minutes later to see that it was still going on. By this time, a larger crowd had gathered and nobody seemed to be supporting the no side.

"Without trying to sound cliche, these two girls popped out in front of the crowd and began to kiss beside him. The man began to get louder as the crowd cheered on the two girls. It was just fortunate enough I had my camera out at the right time, I guess."
