The last decade has been an incredible journey for our little nation. We have come so far when it comes to equality, with one of the biggest events happening halfway through the last decade - Marriage Equality being won in 2015.
It was an overwhelming ‘Yes’! The people of Ireland made it known that we are a country who believe in fairness and equality. And most people believe that is what we achieved. Sadly that’s not the full story. We were granted marriage equality, but when it comes to children and families, we are still in the same situation as we always have been - treated differently and unprotected by the law. The situation for same-sex couples, as it stands, is this - if you choose to start a family with your spouse, you are back to being treated as nothing more than glorified roommates.
