Of course, I think it’s fantastic that Ireland allowed it’s people a referendum on same-sex marriage. I also think it’s fabulous that Ireland has an 85% Catholic population, and that the YES vote passed with 62% of the vote.
Just lovely. It really makes me smile, seeing with each day that passes, the world realizes they shouldn’t be such assholes and come around.
I actually shed a tear reading this article about the 90-yo man shedding a tear, saying, “It’s too late for me now. I wish you all the best, and I’ll certainly be voting yes.”
And if you didn’t see the reaction video to the vote counts being read out, you’re welcome >>>>> Ireland vote reaction!
This video should explain to backward-thinking straight people why it means so much to us. SHOULD.
Wow, if that doesn’t hit home hard or what!
I commented saying, “It’s never too late.”
Having said that, some countries ^cough^ Uganda^ ^cough^ Congo ^cough^ ^cough^ Iran ^cough^ are still unbelievably homophobic. How the hell do these countries ever expect a thriving tourist industry??
It was lovely watching Eurovision and when they went to Ireland for their vote, the commentators mentioned that it was an historic day for Ireland, and the chick commentator added, “…When you’re ready, Australia.”
I read something about how Australia is now the only mainland English-speaking country that doesn’t allow same-sex marriage. How fucking embarrassing LOL. Oh man, it makes me shake my head.
This video made me laugh my arse off last night. Fuck I love this bitch :D

Congratulations Ireland!
Makes me think back to when I had my Irish fling, and I was in tears saying goodbye to him at the airport. Oh that boy was so much fun.
Then there is this mother’s letter. Well written and just lovely.
I do have faith however. I always have. I just bitch about how ridiculous this is. A lot :D

Interesting that much of the recent homophobia in Uganda and Congo comes from Western Christian 'scholars' who, while ridiculed in their home countries, find an audience for their nonsense in less developed African nations.

I was so thrilled when I read that article and I wanted to just cry. I'm so excited that more and more places are becoming more accepting of gay marriage. Too bad more countries can't just shut up and get over themselves about it lol

I think eventually Australia will allow it. We just have to have hope. But yes I congratulate Ireland.

Don't forget America doesn't allow it, either! I live in Texas, and I'm guessing that when the US does decide to allow it, the state will be seceding...

Most of your states do now though, from what I've seen! I heard that Texas will probably be one of the last ones however to agree to it :(
Must be all those rednecks :P

It is definitely all the rednecks. And ignorant conservative religious zealots. The current state of gay marriage is a mess here because only some states recognize it and if you live in a state that doesn't, then the federal government doesn't recognize it like it would in one that does. It's totally crazy. And people are refusing service to Same sex couples based on religious principles!! It drives me bonkers. I'm super proud of Ireland though. Especially with all the catholics. The new Pope is doing a great job.

Makes me so proud to be half-Irish, I just wish bloody Straya would catch up now, argh. I'm sooo excited that my cousin Emma and her girlfriend Aine can now get married like they have wanted to do for years :) Just so brilliant! Come on Australia!!!
