Lorcan and Imran have been together twelve years. They lived abroad for many years and have recently returned to Ireland to settle down. They share their thoughts on how Ireland has changed during their lifetimes, and the inspiration that this can give to others in less tolerant parts of the world. Last year Imran became seriously ill, and as he recovers he reflects on the importance of the loving committed relationship he and Lorcan are fortunate enough to have. This is a simple referendum about equality. Lorcan and Imran ask you to vote for love, happiness and respect.

“Our society has changed greatly since the 1980s. Progress around issues of tolerance and equality have brought immeasurable benefits to all of us. For us, marriage equality is about a welcome. We have asked to join in, and you can welcome us by pushing back your chairs, by widening the circle.”
