Sinn Fein Youth holding marriage equality demonstration in Guildhall Square this weekend

Sinn Féin Councillor Colly Kelly has urged people in the city to attend a marriage equality demonstration which will be held in the Guildhall Square this Saturday afternoon at 3pm organised by Sinn Féin Youth.

Councillor Kelly said: "I would urge people in the city and district to attend the rally on Saturday in Derry.

"It follows last week’s LGBT awareness week and to mark the passing of the second anniversary of the securing of Marriage Equality in the 26 Counties, through people power.

"There is a growing demand for marriage equality across the north.

"Equal marriage threatens no one. It is about equal rights for everyone.

"Sinn Féin is committed to seeing marriage equality extended across the island and to opposing homophobia, sectarianism, sexism and all other forms of discrimination wherever they occur."
