Irish Student Union to campaign for marriage equality
http://www.pinknews.co.uk/2012/04/11/irish-student-union-to-campaign-for-marriage-equality/The Union of Students in Ireland (USI) has voted to campaign in favour of equal rights for gay couples to marry and adopt in its latest Congress.
The Union adopted the motion “to vehemently campaign on the full equalisation of rights regardless of sexual orientation, for full and equal marriage rights, full and equal adoption rights and for this union to recognise lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender LGBT members as full and equal members of society in recognition of the rights laid out above.”
The USI is the sole national representative body for students in Ireland, representing over 250,000 students in over 40 colleges across the country.
The motion was proposed by University College Dublin’s Students’ Union, and was passed unanimously by the USI Congress.
