Vote YES on May 22nd

All you need to know

Inequality

Married couples have constitutional and legal protection. Civil partnerships have legal protection only. Legal protection can be changed, amended, whittled down by act of the Oireachtas. Constitutional protection can only be removed by a vote of the people in a referendum.

Adoption

It is a myth that adoption and the marriage referendum are connected. However you vote on May 22nd the adoption process is NOT going to change.

Surrogacy

It is a myth that surrogacy and the marriage referendum are connected. The right of a married couple to procreate does not, and has never been defined to, include a right of access to artificial means such as surrogacy.
