A campaign for equality for children of LGBT+ parents in Ireland
what's going on?
Children of LGBT+ families in Ireland are denied to the right to have a legally recognised relationship with both of their parents
This campaign gives a voice to those children and families in their fight for equality
Myths & Facts
In 2015, Ireland voted for marriage equality for LGBT+ families. You may have seen headlines in recent weeks and months claiming that new laws will soon be in place to guarantee equal rights to LGBT+ families. However this is not true. While there are new laws coming in, they will only apply to those who meet certain criteria which is approximately 40% of children of LGBT+ families in Ireland. This also means that everybody else is left behind, approximately 60% of children LGBT+ families in Ireland
Only female couples who have used an Irish clinic to conceive with an identifiable donor will be covered and be allowed to both be registered as parents to their children.
While this is fantastic news for those who meet the criteria, it also means that everybody else is left behind. That means if you have conceived your children in any other way than what the politicians have decided is acceptable, then you are to be excluded from this law and will not have your family recognised.
