The kiss Senator Katherine Zappone shared with her partner Ann-Louise Gilligan after proposing live on television the day of the same-sex marriage referendum features in Google's 2015 A Year in Search video.
As the video flicks through the top Google searches of the past 12 months around the world, the voice of Caitlyn Jenner can be heard speaking at the ESPY awards where Jenner accepted the Arthur Ashe Courage Award in July.
“For the people out there wondering what this is all about,” says Jenner. “Whether it’s about courage or controversy... well I’ll tell you what it’s all about. It’s about what happens from here.
“It’s not just about one person. It’s about thousands of people. It’s about all of us accepting one another.
“We’re all different. That’s not a bad thing. That’s a good thing. And while it may not be easy to get past the things you don’t always understand, it is absolutely possible if we only do it together.”
Caitlyn Jenner was the third most searched person in the world on Google in 2015.
