Equal Marriage in Northern Ireland

Why this is important

The Governments of Scotland, England and Wales have committed to bringing forward legislation which will allow same-sex couples to get married. However, this legislation will not extend to Northern Ireland.

The Equal Marriage Northern Ireland (EMNI) campaign exists to ensure that all couples in Northern Ireland, regardless of their gender or sexual orientation, have the same marriage rights as their counterparts in Great Britain.

SIGN THIS PETITION

I stand with the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender men and women of Northern Ireland, their family and their friends, and call on the Minister for Finance and Personnel to bring forward legislation which will end the discriminatory ban on loving and committed same-sex couples getting married. I believe that different religious denominations must have the right to determine which marriages they solemnise, that no religious celebrant should be compelled to conduct same-sex marriages and that the government must allow those faith groups who wish to conduct same-sex marriages to do so.
