Dear friends,
3 days left. Could lesbian, gay and bi people be refused service in Northern Ireland? Northern Irish Assembly Member Paul Givan wants to make it legal for businesses to turn people away, just because of who they love.
The Assembly breaks for Easter in 3 days. Paul Givan could rush to submit his anti-gay bill just before the break, unless he sees that the outcry against his homophobic plan just keeps on building.
Paul Givan is feeling the pressure: he even mentioned our huge petition last week in the Assembly. Can you share with 3 friends so we get to 300,000 signatures before the Assembly breaks in just 3 days?
900 of us chipped in to pay for a massive billboard van to tour Belfast with our message. The Belfast Telegraph – an influential Northern Irish paper – picked up the story. Pro-equality politicians, gay Christian groups and teachers have also spoken out against the proposed law.
We have just three days left before the Assembly breaks for Easter. Will you add your name to the petition and share it with your friends? Getting to 300,000 signatures before Thursday could be the tipping point to push Paul Givan to drop his anti-gay bill.

In January, 168,000 All Out members signed a petition and pushed the US State of Virginia to drop a controversial anti-gay law. And just last week, 60,000 of us spoke out to support All Out member Mirjam when she was banned from kissing her girlfriend on a train platform. The train company, Thalys, apologised and agreed to update its equality training for all staff.
Now let’s stop the anti-gay law in Northern Ireland! Click here to share. Thank you for going All Out!
Andre, Leandro, Lucy, Rose, Tile and the rest of the All Out team.
P.S. All Out's member-funded – that means every individual donation goes to powering groundbreaking global campaigns. It also means governments and corporations can't tell us what to do because we won't take their money. If we want to be 100% independent and keep on changing lives, we all need to step up and chip in now with individual donations:go.allout.org/en/a/donate
