First Civil Partnership Ceremonies Celebrated in Ireland
On Tuesday, two couples became the first to publicly celebrate their partnership ceremonies under Ireland?s recently instated civil partnership laws. The laws, which went into effect in January, provide couples with many of the protections afforded by marriage, including shared home protections and pension benefits. Chairman Kieran Rose of the Gay and Lesbian Equality Network (GLEN) commented on the ceremonies, saying they marked, ?another great milestone for Ireland and for lesbian and gay people.?Related Media Coverage:Agence France-Presse - April 5, 2011"First Public Same-Sex Partnerships Celebrated in Ireland"http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20110405/lf_afp/irelandgayslawmarriage
