This post was originally published four weeks ago, just before the second reading of the Marriage Equality Bill. But it is as relevant as it was back then. It’s a powerful reminder that we should be careful what we wish for.

I have been thinking for a while about writing a post on the Marriage Equality Bill.

I’m sure you have heard all the arguments for and against the bill, but I thought it would be great if someone without a vested interest in the outcome spent some time doing a bit of solid research on all the terrible things we can expect to see if the bill passes into law.

The problem with such an exercise is that it requires a great deal of research, which is why only now, on the eve of the Second Reading of the bill, I am publishing my findings.

So here’s my list of all the terrible things that we can expect to see as a result of the passing of the Marriage Equality Bill.

Please let me know if I have missed anything off my list.
