Ireland votes Yes
Well done Ireland for breaking the shackles of religious conservatism and becoming the first country in the world to approve gay marriage. 62% in favour. Slainte.

Still well done to Ireland, and a kick in the teeth for the Catholic church and it's repressions. |
Re: Ireland votes Yes
Yes by referendum/popular vote. My browser crashed and I had to rewrite my post, forgetting that bit! Anyway, the fact that it is popular vote speaks volumes. A real good kick in teeth.

Re: Ireland votes Yes
Why can't homosexuals just get on with their lives and stop boring the rest of us with their preciousness-I mean apart from them who really gives a damn. Marriage is such an archaic concept anyway.

well, at least that outs one homophobe. Do you realise that if uyou have a circle of more than 10 friends, there is a strong likelihood that at least one is homosexual. so just suck it up... possibly not the best phrase there..:rofl::rofl:

Might just be a 'sanctity of marriage' thing rather than homophobia. Whichever it is, times have moved on. I suppose for some older citizens 50+ (yourself excluded of course) it is harder to adjust to the changed social mores.

I'm not sure that's a a excuse... I genuinely thought those two posts didn't really mean it cause people surely don't blatantly hold those views anymore. Horrible, vile posts.
Bored now! |

If you're referring to MY post (and excuse me if you're not) then I certainly did mean what I posted. It wasn't a homophobic post at all and neither was I expressing any "vile" opinions. I know some very nice people who are gay but they don't "climb on rooftops" to point out to the rest of the world that they consider themselves hard done by. I don't actually know any homophobics but the constant press coverage of a minority group becomes so wearisome to most readers that they eventually will become a target for criticism.
Bored now! My views on whether marriage is outdated are entirely irrelevant to anyone else's wish to be married...and so if that's what they wish to do then gay or straight then they should be able to do so. |
