Dolev 867 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 The Northern Ireland Assembly has rejected a proposal calling for the introduction of gay marriage, after debating the issue for a fourth time.A total of 96 MLAs took part in the vote and 49 voted against the Sinn Féin motion calling for civil marriage equality for all, with 47 in favour.Sinn Féin, SDLP and five Alliance MLAs supported the motion. The DUP opposed it and the Ulster Unionists were given a free vote on the issue.Of 53 unionists, only four voted yes.Ahead of the vote, a petition of concern was tabled, meaning the motion would require cross-community support from both unionists and nationalists to succeed. However, it did not come into play.More Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leo 3,000 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Sad but expected in such a strong Catholic country. The Catholic parties mainly supported the movement.It was the other side that fought against it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmm 979 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 As expected; the Unionist parties always threaten to use the veto too because apparently same s-x marriage only benefits nationalists in Northern Ireland The parties most strongly supportive of same s-x marriage are also those most supportive of Palestine, but that's not relevant Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmm 979 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Sad but expected in such a strong Catholic country. Actually it's the 'Catholic' parties; Sinn Fein and SDLP supporting it, with the 'protestant' parties DUP and UUP against it Down south, which is more majority Catholic will pass same s-x marriage easily Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
