InterTech is a diversity forum I helped start last year. As a coalition of Google, Facebook, Twitter, Airbnb and LinkedIn LGBT employees, it is intended as a platform to socialise and debate for LGBT employees and allies. We are hosting our third event in Facebook HQ next Thursday evening – and FREE tickets are available here.
We will be talking to managers from Paypal, Microsoft and Easons as well as Claire Farrell (VP of TENI) about their experience of parenthood through the lens of their LGBT identity. This video sets the backdrop; every family is different, so let’s celebrate those differences.
Yowsah!

Vote no.
And save potential form-ticking blushes.
I am a very young 43 year old with two children. I’ve been married to my lovely wife for 15 years and I am concerned that with no consideration to my family the government plan to change the definition of my marriage to suit a relatively small group of people who want what I have but are not willing to do what I do to get it. (Meaning marriage as presently constituted of course)
….I’ve been listening with great interest to the media coverage of the debate and I’ve not heard this particular point covered.
If this ‘Re-defining Marriage’ bill is passed in May. Because let’s face it. That’s actually what the government are planning to do. Re-define what marriage means albeit calling it; ““Marriage may be contracted in accordance with law by two persons without distinction as to their sex.” will mean that post0-May 2015 if the bill is passed any time in the future I tick a box on a form for a mortgage, a driving licence, or any other official/unofficial document that asks my marital status, will no longer mean that I’m married to a woman.
It will just mean that I’m married. I will have to spend the rest of my natural life qualifying my sexuality to others so that others know that I’m not gay and that I am in fact married to a women.
Now I know that some will say; What does sexuality have to do with filling out a form. It doesn’t. It shouldn’t have anything to do with any appointments for a job etc.. It’s the point that people will not know that I am not married to a woman, and, that I might be gay. This will become a misrepresentation of my sexuality going forward.
I should not have to be put in this situation. I don’t have any issues with people who gay or lesbian. But I will start sounding like I’m homophobic by responding to people who ask in general conversation if I’m married? that yes, I am married, and that I’m married to a woman not Man…..

Sadly we were broken in to last night and all of our stock stolen. Anyone who has purchased something in our sale these past 48 hours, we’ll issue you with a refund in the next couple of days. And if people could keep an eye out for our stock turning up in unexpected places, pretty much all of the labels we sell are unique to our store in Ireland. Gutted
