Northern Ireland: Gay Couples, Inspired by Royal Wedding, Will Protest for Marriage Equality

Northern Ireland is the only place in the UK that does not allow same-sex couples to marry. Gay couples in Northern Ireland have been inspired by the royal wedding to protest for marriage equality. With the entire country (and the rest of the world) celebrating the marriage of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, it has left some couples wondering when it will be their turn. “It’s hard not to feel like second-class citizens,” said Donnan to BelfastLive. &Ldquo;We hope Harry and Meghan have a really great day. But we just wish that we had the same right to get married as they enjoy.”
