Thousands of people marched through the centre of Belfast on Saturday calling for equal marriage rights for the LGBT community.
Northern Ireland is the only part of the UK where same sex couples cannot get married, while the Republic voted gay marriage into law two years ago.
There have been five separate votes on the issue in Stormont, the last of which in 2015 saw the assembly narrowly vote in favour of gay marriage equality.
But the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) has vetoed any law change, arguing that they are protecting the "traditional" definition of marriage.
