10 years of marriage equality: 'We are a family - joyous, ordinary, and exceptional'
Briefly

This week marks a decade since Ireland approved marriage equality, a historic moment celebrated throughout the nation. To commemorate, seven LGBTQ+ couples shared their experiences of marriage since the vote, reflecting on their journeys and the hurdles still faced by the community. Despite significant advancements, they emphasize that advocacy for acceptance and rights must continue to ensure true equality for all. The stories illustrate both personal triumphs and the collective struggle that persists in the pursuit of full inclusion and acceptance for LGBTQ+ individuals in Irish society.
“It’s a moment of immense pride to see how far we have come since that momentous day in 2015, yet it also serves as a reminder of the ongoing struggles for equality.”
“Many challenges remain for the LGBTQ+ community even after the vote. We are united not just in faith and hope but also in the fight for broader acceptance.”
