On Tuesday, Marriage Equality launched its “Just Love?” campaign and the “Missing Pieces” report, an audit of civil partnership as compared with marriage. The report reveals 169 differences between the two. Here, we look at the first two areas examined: the family home and finance.

Today Marriage Equality launches its “Just Love?” campaign. To coincide with the launch, a ground-breaking report – “Missing Pieces” – reveals 169 legal differences between civil marriage and civil partnership, and a poster campaign is rolled out across Dublin

The annual LGBT Noise March for Marriage took place this afternoon, setting out at 3pm from Dublin’s City Hall, Lord Edward Street. RTÉ reports that thousands attended. Estimates by those who were present put the crowd at 4,000 people.

Marriage Equality is facing a funding crisis. For the last four years, the organisation has had the generous financial support of The Atlantic Philanthropies. Unfortunately, at the end of 2011, Atlantic Philanthropies are exiting the LGBT sector and therefore funding for the campaign will come to an end.

I have great reservations about the phrase “gay marriage”. I didn’t get gay married. The forms didn’t have Gay Marriage Certificate Application on them. The judge didn’t sign a Lesbian Wait Period Waiver us. I think when you say “gay marriage” it says that being gay and married is different from being straight and married. I don’t buy that.

The Law Reform Commission yesterday published its Report on the Legal Aspects of Family Relationships. The report makes recommendations to reform Irish law in relation to certain – though not all – same-sex relationships where children are being raised.

The Marriage Equality Big Apple Raffle is back again this year to help beat all the doom and gloom with three fantastic prizes up for grabs!

I do think there are potentially two good stories that could have been told in this film: one about a difficult time in a relationship between two women, and one about their kids finding their sperm donor. And in fact, I really did want to like this film. But what the hell is the story with that plot?

The Irish Times poll, conducted in August, shows that 67% of Irish people support the right of gay people to marry. The poll data broken down into age groups is even more promising, showing that support for gay marriage is strong in almost all age groups, only dipping to under 50% in those aged 55 [...]

With 5 EU member states recognising the marriages of same-sex couples and 11 offering an alternative partnership option, the question was long overdue. What happens when you’re married in Spain and move to Ireland? Obviously, things will change (somewhat) when our Civil Partnership, etc Bill is enacted, but for now, the Spanish married couple moving [...]

An estimated 4000 to 5000 LGBT people and their loved ones (not including cute puppies) marched for marriage equality in Dublin’s city centre this afternoon.

I read a lot of blogs. Too many are the ones that reinforce exactly what I believe already. Some are about subjects I don’t know much about. Others take a different viewpoint from my own. Some of those bloggers have even managed to change my stubborn mind on issues over the years. They’re my favourites. [...]

Well, can you Adam-and-Steve it, folks, it’s been thirteen whole days since the last Gaelick news round-up? So, what has been happening in that intervening period? Lesbian LOLs? Sapphic surprises? Dishing the dykey dirt? Read on!
