Ireland would have been high on my list of places that I would thought of as being against gay marriage.  The Church's influence must really be waning there.

I am surprised. I was sure the vote would go pretty heavily "No."

Waiting for the final tally to be announced.

Just spitballing, but I have a feeling that the draw of big corporate high finance in the recovery of The Irish Spring may be part of the Yes Vote victory.

stay safe.

So, you're saying there IS a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow?

No.  Just that capital flows to places where the people in charge of the place take less of it.  And companies that send their money to those places do not like being thought of as repressive.  And that companies with significant capital can and do influence a lot of things once thought of as being the realm of the family and/or the church.

Based on the lines waiting for the polls to open and the samplings made of those waiting to vote the Vote No folks pretty much conceded they were going to lose unless there was a major miracle.

stay safe.

'Cuz if government recognizes your relationship as a marriage, you have more liberty?

I hope this spreads.  Equal rights for gay people all around,  I'm happy for them.




Then they can go the hell away as a victim group.

These people are no different tha gun banners or race pimps.  there is no point where they will say, "this is enough".

And most curiously a great many go " these people" are not gay. They are politicians professional SJW and assorted well meaning whack jobs .

You mean like every other special group of folks do when they get "equal" status?

Good luck with that. They don't want equal status, they want special status.
