Today we went to the Dublin Pride Parade. The theme for the parade [well the week long festival] is 'we are family too'.
Basic rights
It saddens me that the gay community have to fight for, what should be, a given right to marry and be legally recognised as families.
I've tears in my eyes
To think that my wonderful, amazing baby brother doesn't have the same rights that I and my husband have just because of his sexual orientation. I know the world and Ireland have come a great distance in their recognition of gay couples and gay rights and for that I am grateful but..
It's not far enough...
Everyone should share the same basic human rights regardless of colour, creed or coupling. James and I are fighting for our right to have a family against nature; the gay community fight for their right to be recognised as a family against the world - that is just wrong!
