Vote Yes and cross that fine line to equality #MakeGráTheLaw
We are so close. And yet we could be so far away. Equality is knocking on Ireland’s door and I’m praying it will be heard. This week I interviewed a prominent LGBT+ campaigner from Ireland and because it was a pre-referendum interview with a post-result publication date I had to ask two questions about the Same-Sex Marriage Referendum result in Ireland.
