Vote Yes for Marriage Equality
Sinn Féin launch the party's Referendum campaign urging voters to give a resounding Yes to both referendum issues.
Sinn Féin President Gerry Adams TD, speaking at the launch of the party’s Referendum campaign, has urged voters to “give a resounding Yes to both referendum issues”.
Teachta Adams said:
“In just five weeks’ time two referendums will be held. One is to reduce the eligibility age for a candidate for the Presidential elections. The second is on marriage equality.
“Sinn Féin is calling for a Yes vote in both referendums.
“In respect of the Marriage Equality Referendum, many of us will have a member of our family or extended family who is gay. All of us, whatever age we are or wherever we live or work, know someone who is gay.
“They want what we want – the right to live their lives as full and contributing citizens and to share in the love of a family of their own.
“I would also appeal for everyone to join the campaign for a Yes Vote.
