BrendanT1993 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 This day 38 years ago - 22 October 1981 - the European Court of Human Rights decided that Northern Ireland's laws criminalising homosexuality violated Article 8 of the Convention, leading to decriminalisation a year later. 38 years later, we can finally have same sex marriages. Only 6 years behind the rest of the UK but better late than never I suppose. Its happened. We are now all real people.Our bodies are ours. Our love is legal.Our lives are better. Still a lot to do.But this should be be a bit of hope in a hopeless time.And a reminder that taking to the streets, challenging power, and talking to our families makes CHANGE, finally, the laws fall in line with a people that are progressive + passionate about a future for everyone. I'm proud to have spent 3 years fighting for this https://attitude.co.uk/article/history-made-as-marriage-equality-arrives-in-northern-ireland-1/22092/?fbclid=IwAR055AJWAT6Z1Za8yvsU4jo2OUKnrll_qew9txUz24dpXX0bIjVj-o6Lnns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaudet Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Those lovely [sarcasm] DUP bigots must have been very happy about the news - well done Northern Ireland, very well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
