Model joins march for same-sex rights

As if on cue, the sun broke through just as the March for Marriage came to a halt outside the shut Department of Justice.

Spirits were high among the 4,000-odd marchers as samba drums, whistles, chanting and shouting echoed around St Stephen’s Green yesterday.

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people mixed with their parents, siblings and their children in a good-humoured march which started at City Hall before snaking towards the Department of Justice.
