Where to buy Marriage Equality Merchandise?

    hi guys,

    I have some relatives who live abroad, now in their 60s, who left Ireland for a better future, in no small part to the fact that they were homosexual and felt as if they couldn't stay here.

    I would love to get some Marriage Equality Merchandise to buy and send to them. I know that they really appreciate the inroads that have been made by Irish society since they left the country initially, and I think to see this referendum in their lifetime is a pretty special thing.

    They don't use the internet so would not be aware of the social media campaigns.

    Can anybody direct me to places where I can buy such products, (online preferably as I can't travel much). Preferably products that actually are sold for genuine fundraising for genuine organisations (I like to feel that my money will be helping the cause too!)

    Also, there was a book published last year about the decriminalisation of homosexuality in Ireland, I was thinking about getting her that too, but I can't remember the name or the author and internet searches are just bringing me to articles.

    Ta very much!

    many thanks for that - I've ordered some stuff, but the other products like the t-shirts in the size I'd need and car window stickers are all (happily for them I suppose!) sold out!

    Any other places?

    Is Una Mullaly the book author?

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Yes! Have you read it? What do you think of it as a gift?

    So are there any more places selling things?

    The yes equality shop is sold out.

    I used my bag yesterday and two people happily shouted "yes to Equality!" when They saw me with it when I dropped my kid to school

    I think they have merch tables at the meetings they're setting up around the country - I'm hoping they restock online too, I'd buy a couple of t-shirts and badges to give out.

    I got one of the totes too and got a couple of thumbs up out and about (and in a small town). Unexpected and awesome.

    Looks like the online shop has restocked some. The car stickers are still sold out, but I was able to get a t-shirt!
