"The passing of this Bill represents institutionalised apartheid. And it sends a clear message to every child across the country who’s thinking of coming out, that the life they face is not only fraught with emotional knocks but that, even if they do their very best to be like everyone else, they will still be unable to avail of the same rights as their parents. And providing less for our children than we do for ourselves is the true threat to society – not gay marriage."
Alan Flanagan on the passing of the Civil Partnership bill in The Irish Times today.
