NOISE Flash Demo

6pm Thursday 3rd December

Dáil Éireann, Kildare St.

The Civil Partnership Bill is due for discussion very soon in the Dáil. The schedule of the Dáil is released every Monday - as soon as we know the day of discussion of CP we will spread the word to you. This is a chance to stand-up and to tell our elected representatives that the Civil Partnership Bill is an inherently discriminatory piece of legislation and that the choice of civil marriage for all citizens represents full equality for Irelands LGBT community.

Demonstrating against this bill is about showing our elected representatives that Ireland’s LGBT community should not be forced to participate in it’s own discrimination by accepting, out of necessity, the measures contained within it. Joining NOISE in protest against the Civil Partnership Bill does not undermine any progress that this bill might represent for some members of our community who will avail of the limited rights within the bill to regularise their legal affairs. We need to continuously remind the Government that they have not done enough until they have actually granted us full equality. As equal citizens, we should have equal access to the various institutions of the state including the civil institution of marriage.

This demo will not be like other NOISE rallies. It is an opportunity for the lgbt community to come together quickly to make our feelings known directly- by chanting and through our visibility - to our elected representatives. NOISE will be inviting the TDs and Senators of the Dáil to mix with the demo to better undertand why Civil Partnership is not good enough for our community or for our children.

DEMAND EQUAL RIGHTS
DEMAND CIVIL MARRIAGE

Love & Noise,
