Young Fine Gael has a proud history in supporting the rights of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) community. We are looking forward to campaigning strongly in favour of Marriage Equality in the upcoming referendum this May.
As with every referendum on the constitution, we must carefully consider what will be the consequences if such a change is to be endorsed by the people. Young Fine Gael has compiled a campaign document to try and answer as many questions as possible that you may have about the forthcoming referendum on Marriage Equality.
In simple terms, we believe that this referendum is about the following:
- Granting equal rights to all citizens of our republic to marry who they love regardless of their sexual orientation.
- Will not affect children or their rights in any way, shape or form.
This document was authored by members of the Young Fine Gael National Executive using a number of referenced sources from different organisations
and publications.
We hope that this will address any queries that you may have and hope that you will vote Yes when the referendum on Marriage Equality is put to the
people in May.
