Legalise marriage between same-sex couples in Northern Ireland

Petition Details

Northern Ireland is now the only part of the U.K. that hasn't legalised the marriage between two people of the same sex. Parties opposed cite religious dogma as a reason for not 'redefining marriage'. Religious beliefs should not be imposed on others or be used infringe on their rights.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. Decisions on same-sex marriage in Northern Ireland are the responsibility of the Northern Ireland Assembly.

If you are in Northern Ireland you can contact your local MLA using the following website: http://aims.niassembly.gov.uk/mlas/search.aspx
