A Muslim fashion designer in Australia has designed rainbow hijabs to show support for marriage equality. People in Australia are currently voting on whether gay or lesbian people should be allowed to marry.
The fashion company, MOGA, say, "During one of the most important and critical times in our nation's history, we at MOGA are proud to voice our support for marriage equality in Australia."
Azahn Munas, the founder of MOGA says, "Our pride scarf can be worn by anyone regardless of their skin colour, religious beliefs or sexual orientation. To demonstrate this we have even draped it as a hijab, a world first, to acknowledge that members of the LGBTQI community exist in all religions."
