Alan Hughes: 'I want to get legally married to Karl, but we don't want kids'

He had a lavish civil ceremony with partner Karl Broderick in 2011, but Alan Hughes says he wants to get married legally.

The TV3 host has been speaking out, after the announcement that there will be a referendum on same sex marriage next spring.

However the Ireland AM host was quick to point out he and partner Karl have absolutely no interest in having children.

“There are so many people who want to get married and who have no interest in adopting children or having children or going down that road,” he said.

“It’s just a right to be able to say I’m able to get married, I have a marriage certificate.

“I mean the children thing is not going to affect me because I don’t want to have children and Karl doesn’t want to have children but for those who do, there are so many rights there that need to be sorted.”

But Alan revealed he would like to marry Karl legally.

He added: “Just to have that I am allowed to be married like any other person in the country. It seems like a basic human right to be able to be married to someone which at the moment you cannot do.”
