Sinn Féin - On Your Side

Moving On - A Policy for Lesbian, Gay and Bi-Sexual Equality


Lesbian, gay and bisexual people suffer from discrimination and harassment in every aspect of their daily lives. Whether in the social, political, economic or cultural spheres, they are denied equality of rights and opportunities. There is no logical or rational defence for such exclusion. Only ignorance and indifference enable such a denial of basic fundamental rights to continue.

Republicans are only too well aware of what it means to be treated as second-class citizens. Our politics are the result of decades of resistance to marginalisation and discrimination. Self- determination is our core demand, not only as a nation, but also as diverse communities within that nation.
