Variable: UISSMARRB

When people are deciding how to vote in an election or referendum, they often take many factors into consideration. Please tell me in what way, if at all, the following issues would affect your decision on how to vote in a referendum on a united Ireland?
Same sex marriage is legal in the Republic of Ireland. The ban on same sex marriage has been lifted in Northern Ireland but it is not yet available. In what way might this difference influence how you would vote in a referendum on a united Ireland?
Note: this question was asked after 23 October, when the legislation in Northern Ireland was changed. Belfast 23 October, respondents were asked UISSMARRA.
