Gays and pro-life lobby should unite

Here’s a (not so) wacky idea. Gays, forget about gay marriage and settle with ‘narriage’.

This will keep the conservatives happy, knowing their historical and religious definition of the union will not be subverted. Gays will be content to marry under state law and be given the same rights as other people in loving, long term and committed relationships.

However, here is the twist. The pro-life lobby will embrace these newly recognised families as people who can work in tandem with their goals to keep Ireland abortion-free.
