@dommyjonny11 Get your facts right. I campaigned (for several years) for civil partnerships. I believed (and still do) that these are the best solution to legally recognise same sex relationships.
I only got involved in #marref when the government said they were going to get rid of them.
11 April 2015, this temporary mural was put on the wall by Joe Caslin at end of George’s St, it lasted 1-2wks so didn’t need planning permission
So much has changed in those years, most not for the better
We can’t let the far right, hate mongers drag us back #MarRef
I lost what I thought were friends during #marref. It took a little time to appreciate that a friendship conditional on you not standing up or speaking out for your beliefs was not something worth keeping.
The friendships that survive are real, unconditional and priceless.
Catherine Connolly is going to win this by the same margin as for #repealthe8th and #marref. Oppressive and bigoted Ireland 🇮🇪 is truly dead and buried
@Ben_Scallan True.
For most of the people who will be put in charge of planning the events, Catholic emancipation started with #marref and ended with #Repeal 💁🏻♂️
#Aras25
It's beyond a joke now. Surely once @gavinforthearas was chosen the rules were known on not associating the defence forces with his campaign.
Or did he think that because @GardaTraffic were allowed to take a side on #marref without accountability, that he could as well?
Jim Gavin has taken down a THIRD social media post involving the defence forces. In this video he talked about “a call” yesterday morning with an officer serving with UNIFIL.
@jeromekurtiss Which parties had enacting the GRA in their 2011 manifesto, so therefore have a semblance of a mandate?
Why was it introduced as part of the SSM legislation having NEVER been part of the #marref debate?
Geclan Ganley seems to think that the result of 1 referendum has some magical relationship to presidential election. It does not.
How does a married gay man vote for Maria Steen - a woman who campaigned to stop same-sex couples from marrying.
Extraordinary decision.
If Mrs Steen makes the ballot, expect media to endlessly harp on about her being in the minority on marriage and abortion.
And ignore that she is in the majority on immigration, last year's referendums, free speech, how many genders there are, and whether RTE is value for money.
@TomOHanlon17 Why would he jump on board this sinking sink in order to bail out Aontu's failed PR gimmick?
Also as someone in a same sex union he may have issues with Steen's role in #marref.
Interesting that @PaulMcauliffe thinks it inappropriate for some people/groups to take positions during referendum campaigns.
Would have been nice if took that position when Garda Sergeants and Inspectors and others advocated for a Yes vote on #marref.
🗣️ "Where was Jim Gavin during the same-sex marriage referendum?....I didn't see Jim Gavin showing this great 'leadership' that we keep hearing about him."
@fionnansheahan and @PaulMcauliffe on the contrasting knowledge of Billy Kelleher and Jim Gavin's positions.
#TonightVMTV
Fianna Fáils Mary Hanifin throwing her hat in the ring for #Aras25 is mad on lots of levels.
She opposed repealing the 8th she also opposed the marriage equality referendum. And there was that time she was a minister in the worst government in the history of the state. So erm..
After #marref I said that I wouldn't become heavilly involved in another referendum campaign, but if there is any attempt to dilute the franchise of people living in this this country, I'll be back in action.

A "Vichy Gay", (not so) fond memories of the attacks @PaddyJManning and I got during #marref. "Gay Uncle Tom" was my favourite (it made me sound like a porn star), but also "self-loathing gay" and "internalised homophobia".
Those who knew laughed at "self-loathing" for me!
.@IndiaWilloughby wants to label gay men like @johnboyne & I “vichy” for not wanting anything to do with TQ+ ideology…
Unfortunately for Willoughby, most gay men & lesbians don’t have the views of a Stonewall press release…
Ten years ago during the #marref campaign the "No" side warned on the threat of surrogacy. We were told it wasn't an issue and it would be dealt with soon after the referendum. A decade on and things have only gone from bad to worse.
You were warned!
The EU says surrogacy is human trafficking.
Ireland says its not.
Who do you believe?

Legalizing gay marriage in Ireland 10 years ago today was the greatest adventure of my life.

Ten years ago today, Ireland made history — becoming the first country in the world to introduce same-sex marriage by popular vote.
What’s happened since has been nothing short of extraordinary.
➡️ Swipe to see a decade of marriage equality in numbers.

10 years ago today, the Republic of Ireland became the first country in the pass same-sex marriage by popular vote.
My reflections from north of the border five years ago. #marref #marrefmemories #lovewins
No-one is equal until everyone is equal.
