Outspoken UFC featherweight fighter ‘The Notorious’ Conor McGregor is speaking out in support of gay rights in his home country, Ireland.
The brawler who is usually busy telling the world how great he is took a break from that to tweet in support of the upcoming elections that could potentially allow gay and lesbian couples to marry legally.
According to Fox Sports Ireland has the chance on Friday to become the first ever country to legalize same sex marriage through a popular vote and if the referendum passes, it will become part of the constitution making gay marriage legal throughout the Emerald Isle.
"We all deserve equal rights. We are all human beings at the end of the day, regardless of color, gender, sexuality, that's all meaningless, we're all human. We all deserve the same rights so it just feels right to me," McGregor told FOX Sports.
