More Irish Opposed To Same-Sex Marriage
(CPOD) Nov. 25, 2004 - Residents of Ireland are divided over grating the possibility of wedlock for same-sex partners, according to a poll by Millward Brown IMS. 40 per cent of respondents support allowing gay marriages in their country, while 49 per cent disagree.
In Europe, only Belgium and the Netherlands currently allow marriage for same-sex partners. In Spain, the government recently approved a law that would grant gay and lesbian couples the right to marry, divorce and adopt children.
Earlier this month, Irish prime minister Bertie Ahern expressed his intention to allow gay and lesbian partners to have equal rights in matters like inheritance and taxes. Ahern ruled out endorsing the legal recognition of same-sex marriage.
