Marriage Equality launched We Are Family, a national poster campaign

Published: Wednesday, June 23, 2010

Marriage Equality recently launched 'We Are Family', a national poster campaign which gives visibility to lesbian and gay families living in Ireland. The groundbreaking campaign shatters the silence and myths surrounding these families and calls on the Government to recognise and protect same-sex couples and their children.
We Are Family posters, depicting real Irish lesbian and gay couples, some with their children, are being carried by Dublin Bus and have been sent to Libraries, Family Resource Centres and Community Information Centres nationally. Further information is available on www.marriagequality.ie/wearefamily.
The new Marriage Equality poster campaign, We Are Family, gives visibility to same-sex families and calls for an end to the discrimination which these families experience on a day-to-day basis.

Marriage Equality hope this poster campaign will help to give a voice to these families and help people see that they are like any other family in Ireland. Lesbian and gay families deserve the same rights and protections as any other family. Put simply, same sex families deserve equality.

Marriage Equality has produced We Are Family postcards, as part of this project, which we are asking everyone who believes that same-sex families should not be discriminated against, to sign and send to local TDs asking them to end this discrimination.

Marriage Equality are asking people to take 50 postcards (to coordinate amongst family and friends who are registered to vote), to sign them and send them back to local TDs. To get your postcards, please contact Marriage Equality on 01-873 4183 or e-mail: info@marriagequality.ie.
Marriage Equality is a campaign working for equal marriage rights for same-sex couples in Ireland. We Are Family is its latest campaign and was made possible thanks to the support of The Community Foundation of Ireland and the wonderful families who participated.
