Majority Of MLA's Support Call For Equal Marriage In NI

The majority of MLA's support the call for equal marriage in Northern Ireland.

Green Party campaigner Mal O'Hara has described suggestions that equal marriage for NI could be delivered through Westminster as "bittersweet".

She said: "The majority of MLAs now support marriage equality and the Ipsos Mori poll of 2015 found that 68% of the people support it too.

"While the Secretary of State's suggestion that Westminster could offer a free vote on equal marriage is a welcome step forward, it doesn't change the fact that this should have been delivered by our own Assembly.

"The Executive parties have never passed any legislation to progress sexual orientation or gender identity equality and LGBTQ campaigners are left in a position where they have been abandoned by those who have a duty to legislate for them."
