Powerful Video Serves As a Reminder That We Must Still Urge The North To Legalise Marriage Equality

Cassie Delaney

A video about marriage equality in Northern Ireland is being widely shared today.

The video stars a 15-year-old who opens by explaining that he is the son of a same-sex couple.

Marriage Equality has yet to be implemented in the north despite being legalised in the Republic of Ireland and the UK.

In the video the boy reads a letter her wrote to his local MLA and demanded that he receive a reply.

Northern Ireland is the only UK region that still prohibits same-sex marriage.
