Arguing for the Self Through Activism: Ireland's Marriage Equality Campaign 2015
Abstract
This article focuses on the reflections of negotiating the self—specifically, myself—during the 2015 referendum for Marriage Equality in Ireland. It focuses on the understandings and/or meanings that were conveyed to the LGBT community during the campaign. It could be formulated as the attempts by the last vestiges of societal institutions to shape society to their way of thinking—or rather, to maintain a status quo that had long passed. It was an experience in knowing how, why, and what was thought of the LGBT community, with no avenue for retort. It was the battlefield for the maintenance of a socialisation process which informed us of our place. The referendum became the articulation of the known as seen and embraced by the majority to be one day reproduced by the young. Within this context, a re-examination of the self was forced to emerge battered and bruised, but alive.
