Marriage Referendum: Yes side to target ban on gay teachers

Yes Equality campaigners have set their targets on ending the State-allowed ban on gay teachers in certain religious-run schools and beefing up transgender rights on the back of the success of the same-sex marriage referendum.

Senior officials from three key groups behind the yes campaign outlined the next steps in what they have stressed is an equality drive wider than same sex-marriage at a press conference in response to the decision to amend the Constitution.

Speaking to reporters in Dublin, representatives of Yes Equality, Marriage Equality, the Irish Council for Civil Liberties, and the Gay and Lesbian Network expressed their gratitude to the entire country for the 62% yes vote.
