Disappointed to see passage tonight of Gov’s motion to delay our #equality bill by 9 months. We’ll keep working with ⁦@equalchildren⁩ ⁦@LGBT_ie⁩ & others to see progress #equalityforfamilies

🏳️‍🌈👪 (4/5) We still also insist that the Bill be accepted in full, as unless all proposed elements are accepted, children across Ireland now and in the future, will be left out of the legislation and #stillnotequal

6️⃣ (3/5) and welcome the Government's acceptance of six of the nine key asks of the Bill. We have concerns that an impending General Election🗳 could impact the delivery of this but hope that @ministerdonnelly & Government will stand to their promise to LGBTQ families regardless

Today was a milestone moment in our campaign for @equalchildren, with our Bill moving to second stage in the Dáil. I'm incredibly proud of the families who have advocated with such skill, resulting in the Minister for Health agreeing to 6 of our 9 core asks (so far). We will continue to campaign until full equality is achieved.
