It is not legal to be married in my language. My language is not official in my country.
This needs to change and change fast, because this is simple discrimination.

The Cornish for thank you is "meur ras". Cornish, by the way, is a language which receives zero public funding despite being covered by The European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages. Platitudes are nice, actual support is better. Support Cornish. With money.

This, among other reasons, is why we can't allow Cornish nationalism to become a movement based on ethnicity or the circumstances of your birth. Cornish is in the heart and everyone who wants to build us up is welcome.

As a minority language that needs more speakers, we cannot afford to lose people to accessibility failures. Just because we're not in a lockdown, we shouldn't stop making remote attendance to events possible or at least recording and uploading afterwards.
