Marriage Equality Referendum: Enough is enough - All children are loved equally
I TRAVELLED to RTÉ recently to sit in the audience for the Claire Byrne Live debate. The discussion was heated and at times emotional. What was very clear was that most people in the audience have a view of what’s in the best interests of children. Some would argue that we shouldn’t be talking about children at all, that it’s not part of the question being put to the people on the May 22. Others will say that children are at the heart of the issue, and that this should be debated at length.
Either way, the issue of children has emerged as a key part in the referendum campaign, and with that, a whole host of claims and counter-claims about what a yes or no vote would mean for them. This is indicative of how much we, as a society, value our children — so on one level I’m delighted that we are discussing what makes children happy, and what makes them thrive.
