Hannah Hudson is a teacher from Cork, currently living in Ireland. She says that a yes vote on May 22nd would be a major step in the right direction for equality in Ireland. She looks forward to attending the weddings of gay friends and for these unions to be recognised in the same way as her straight friends’ marriages.

“Marriage is not only a romantic union, it’s also about two people sharing their lives together and having certain rights. It would be fantastic to be able to attend the marriages of all my friends in the future, whether they be gay or straight.”
