The lack of marriage equality in Ireland is a civil rights issue that affects not just the LGBT community themselves but also their family, friends, colleagues, neighbours – EVERYONE. The tide is undeniably turning and Ireland now faces the prospect of a referendum on the issue in 2015. It’s been a long road to get to this point, and it couldn’t have been done without the tireless work of the wonderful non-profit grassroots advocacy organisation that is Marriage Equality. Le Galaxie want to do everything they can to help combat the tide of misinformation and fear-mongering that will no doubt be whipped up as we approach the referendum – that’s why they’ve chosen to step up and raise vital funds for the cause!
