Eoin Durkan (34) from Skerries in Co. Dublin, and Michelle Cunningham (32) from Maynooth in Co. Kildare, are a couple living in Dublin. Michelle talks about the complications of any relationship, and how much more complicated those things can be for gay couples when they are prevented from marrying. Eoin talks about how a good friend of his had to embarrassingly ‘come out’ when they were teens. He believes no one should live through ‘distinctions’ and that introducing equal marriage will help to eliminate those distinctions.

“It’s a no brainer for us to want to make lives easier, fairer and better.”
