The last week was a particularly eventful one for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community.
On Saturday almost 30,000 people paraded in the annual pride parade in Dublin, second only to the St Patrick’s Day procession as the largest parade in the capital. Then on Sunday the weekend Tánaiste Eamon Gilmore declared “The right of gay couples to marry is, quite simply, the civil rights issue of this generation, and, in my opinion, its time has come.”
