Press Eye - Belfast - Northern Ireland - 8th May 2019
Campaigners in Northern Ireland have announced a major march and rally for marriage equality to be held in Belfast on Saturday 18 May, as political talks aimed at restoring devolved government for the region continue.
The Love Equality campaign, organisers of the march, are demanding that any re-established Stormont government must deliver marriage equality legislation to bring the region into line with the rest of the UK and Ireland. Failing that, they want the UK Government to intervene to end discrimination against same-sex couples in Northern Ireland.
Among the speakers who will address a rally in front of Belfast City Hall will be Sara Canning, partner of journalist Lyra McKee, who was murdered in Derry / Londonderry last month.
