While I gave my No to Joan B, I gave the Green guy in D15 my No 3 vote because he's gay and trusted that the party was pro gay marriage ... I challenge you to come calling at the next election, I dare you. I have cats and they bite traitors. Could GLBT activists now stop dealing with this vile government and supping with the Bertie devil? I’m so angry.

Last night he claimed the Government was unequivocally in favour of treating gay and lesbian people as full equal citizens in our society. These are hollow words indeed from the other side of the House.”  Fine arguments indeed.  Now it appears that he has accepted the McDowell argument that we need to wait for a Supreme Court judgement in the Zappone case (an argument which doesn’t remotely stand up to scrutiny as it happens). [...] [...] Satying with people who were in opposition 8 months ago, but are now serving in Government, the Greens are under attack at politics.ie and Maman Poulet, after Ciarán Cuffe made the odd decision to speak to Newstalk, outlining what seemed to be a U-turn on the Civil Unions Bill.  Attacking Michael McDowell 8 months ago, Deputy Cuffe (Green, Dún Laoghaire) said: “Still he has no indication on what he will do in the matter.

Thanks for visiting - Damien.So Labour reintroduces the Civil Union Bill tomorrow. (Suzy has a nice post about Ciarán Cuffe rolling over, shame, I thought he was the most transparent Green but what he said today was guff) Just wondering since Labour, Fine Gael, Sinn Féin and the Greens voted for the Civil Union Bill in February, whether they have policies for employees in samesex relationships? Healthcare, pension rights, you know, that kind of thing. Whatever the partner of a married staff member gets, I assume they cater for the samesex partner of a staff member too. I am positive they do, leading my example and all that. Right? Can anyone point me to any information the parties have on that? Plenty of fanboys and girls from all those named parties visit this blog so I’m sure you can root out the standard employment contracts from these parties. Or maybe some of the people in the media that dip in here now and then could put on their sleuthing caps and smoke their pipes and find out? Not those pipes, thems are for after work.
