March for Marriage - August 9th 2009

Do your straight friends and family think you are equal? Now is their chance to show it!

It’s finally time to announce the next Noise protest: we ask you, your friends, your family and your co-workers to MARCH FOR MARRIAGE in Dublin on Sunday 9th August 2009.

All who attended Noise’s ‘Inequality? RED CARD!’ rally in May - over one thousand of you -  will remember Rory O’Neill aka Miss Panti Bliss calling on the community to show its “righteous anger”. You’ll also remember Noiser Eloise McInerney challenging everyone present to carry that anger to the wider community by bringing someone along to the next rally, be they straight, gay, bi or trans. Noise is reissuing that challenge - if everyone who attended that last rally brought three, or five, or even ten people along to August’s march, a message would be sent to our Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform that could not be ignored: Ireland’s LGBT community - along with their straight friends and family -  demand the equality that is due to every citizen: the right to marry the one we love.

The march will gather at Dublin’s City Hall, Dame Street, and will end with a rally at the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform on St Stephen’s Green. Speakers at the rally will include Niall Crowley (equality expert and former CEO of the Equality Authority), Patricia Prendeville (former executive director of ILGA Europe) and Brendan Courtney (broadcaster and entertainer).

It’s time to MARCH FOR MARRIAGE - we look forward to seeing you there!

Sunday 9th August 2009 from 1.30pm, Dublin City Hall, Dame Street.

Love and Noise,

The Noise Team
