Adam believes that a Yes to the equal marriage referendum on May 22nd will ensure that Ireland extends full and equal citizenship to LGBT people like him, and that sexual identity will no longer be a bar to anyone realising their full potential in this Republic of ours.

‘We are now a country much more at ease with difference and diversity. But while social attitudes have been transformed for the better, LGBT people like me are still not afforded full legal equality, on account of our sexual orientation….Voting yes to marriage equality would send out a hugely positive statement that being LGBT is no longer ground for second class citizenship in this Republic of ours.’
