We have had to cancel the 30-seater bus we had ordered for the march on Sunday due to insufficient ticket sales, but fear not as we will be getting the 8am Bus Eireann bus up. Be there early to ensure you get a seat and all that jazz.

See you there!

March for Marriage

Today is the day the Civil Partnership Bill will be voted in by the Dail. Noise believes that LGBT people shouldn’t have to settle for half measures and second-class citizenship. So they have announced the date of the March for Marriage 2010- Sunday 22nd of August!

Last year a vibrant crowd of over five thousand people marched through the streets of the capital demanding full equality in the form of civil marriage.

Civil Partnership lacks many of the rights of Civil Marriage. The children of LGBT families are ignored by this bill. Civil Partnership forces vulnerable couples to participate in their own discrimination out of a basic necessity to protect themselves in whatever way they can. A separate system for certain citizen sends the message out to the rest of society that LGBT people can be treated differently and discriminated against in other areas.

Noise asks all those who support equal rights to gather their friends and family together to march with Noise on August 22nd. Further details and after-march party to be announced. Add LGBT Noise on Facebook or join their mailing list for updates.
