Civil Unions Bill launched

category national | gender and sexuality | news report author Thursday December 14, 2006 13:51author by Labour Youth Report this post to the editors

History is been made to day with a Labour Party Bill which is proposing full equality for same sex couples. Today the Bill which has been launched by the Labour Party will pass its first stage in the Dáil - this will be the first bill ever published in Ireland removing all discrimination from same sex couples.

There was a large turnout today at the press launch from members of the LGBT community who welcomed the bill. The Gay and Lesbian Equality Network are amongst the organisations that have strongly welcomed the Bill which would give same sex couples all the same rights and responsibilities as opposite sex couples enjoy under marriage.

The Bill if it becomes law will also strengthen childrens rights, and will make the rights of the child paramount when it comes to adoption. Currently childrens rights are currently curtailed by discrimination in law which means that regardless of what is best for the child they can never be adopted by same sex couples. The bill proposes to end this curtailment on the rights of the child.
