Nadine Coyle’s accent is now the second-best thing about Northern Ireland after the country legalised same-sex marriage. Campaigners celebrated this morning to the news that they’d finally be catching up with the rest of the UK.
Last night, the UK government confirmed a framework for same-sex marriage and abortion, the regulations of the former likely being made in January of next year.
Northern Ireland Secretary Julian Smith declared: “This means, at the latest, the first civil same-sex marriages will take place on the week of Valentine’s Day 2020.”
I was honestly about to write, ‘there’s gonna be a surge in Libras’ and then realised that same-sex couples don’t make children. Honestly, where’s my coffee?
Regardless, congratulations to those living in Northern Ireland – and now 2019.
