The 34th
On 22 May 2015, the people of Ireland voted overwhelmingly to amend the constitution to allow same-sex marriage. In doing so, Ireland entered the history books as the first country in the world to grant equal marriage rights by popular vote.
“The 34th” tells the story of the founders and members of the Marriage Equality organisation, who developed it into a highly effective grassroots force with one clear goal in mind - the extension of civil marriage to same sex couples. Through revealing interviews and archive material, former board members and staff outline the strategising, battles, graft and personal cost of running such an all-consuming campaign over a decade.
As part of the 2025 Oslo Pride programme, join us for this special screening of “The 34th”, hosted in conjunction with the Embassy of Ireland to Norway, to mark the tenth anniversary of the historic referendum result. The movie will be followed by a conversation with its directors, Linda Cullen and Vanessa Gildea.
Den 22. mai 2015 stemte folket i Irland overveldende for å endre grunnloven for å tillate ekteskap mellom personer av samme kjønn. På denne måten gikk Irland inn i historiebøkene som det første landet i verden som ga retten til likekjønnet ekteskap ved folkeavstemning.
