Does the Labour Party support same-sex marriage in Ireland?
Johntorresbrooklyn
Libertarians don't believe that the government should be interfering with privately performed marriages, so in a sense, yes, they are open to same-sex marriage. Libertarians who are not are hypocrites.
Libertarians are in favor of personal rights, which includes gay rights.

Where did the labor Party originate from?
It developed gradually in the late 19th Century as being a Socialist party committed to social reform and meeting the needs of the urban working classes, but in it's early years the beginnings of what ultimately became the Labour Party was dependent upon the support of the Liberals, with whom it signed a number of coalition agreements to support each other's representation in Parliament. It had the support of the trade unions, who became interested in moving into the political field and who contributed to the development of the party both financially and by putting forward political candidates for it. Other Left-leaning political groups, such as the Fabian Society, the Independent Labour Party, the Marxist Social Democratic Federation, and the Scottish Labour Party, also were sympathetic to it and all gradually coalesced into a single Party unit. The Labour Party proper was officially established in 1900 and won it's first two Parliamentary seats in the October elections of that year, with Party co-founder Keir Hardie elected to represent the Welsh constituency of Merthyr Tyfil and Richard Bell in Derby. It had overseas support from the Australian Labour Party and also from Socialist groups and trade unions in the USA. In the 1906 elections, it's number of MPs rose to 26, and it thenceforth began to be established as a mainstream nationwide political party.

Does Northern Ireland's Social Democratic and Labour Party support same-sex marriage?
The Social Democratic and Labour Party is a Northern Irish party, which is moderately Left wing and supports union with the Irish Republic only by peaceful means and via a referendum, with the North retaining some links to the UK. It's supporters are drawn from both Catholic and protestant communities, but both Christian denominations in Northern Ireland are highly traditional and tend to oppose homosexuality as a sin. The SDLP thus has to tread very carefully over the issue and does not make it's position clear, in order to avoid an open confrontation with religious leaders. The Liberal Democrats in England USED to be known as the Social and Democratic Labour Party in the late 1980s, although they changed their name in 1992. This party DOES support same-sex marriage.
