Bru Amerlynck (33), James McIlvenna (33), Jamie Taylor (34), Mark Amerlynk (26) and Conor Cassidy (33) are all from the Sutton/Howth area in Dublin and are all rugby team-mates at Suttonians RFC whose friendships go back years. Each of them is voting yes for equal marriage in May. On the pitch they are all treated equally, but as one of them happens to be gay, he is treated differently off the pitch. All six guys in this video feel that this is wrong.

“I’m voting yes because twenty years ago we wouldn’t be having this conversation in this dressing room. Society has moved on, it’s time for the laws to reflect this.”
