Mark is a 23 year old student from Dundrum in Dublin. He is motivated to vote YES on behalf of his friend and asks others to join him in supporting the equal rights of LGBT people in Ireland.

“I always would have been a supporter of equal marriage but I never really thought about why. After my friend came out, this caused a bit of excitement, but this died down after a while and everything went back to normal because nothing had changed. He was still the same person I always knew. That made me think; my friend legally can’t do something that I can do purely because of his sexual orientation, which is something he has absolutely no control over. That’s why I’m voting yes.”
