being gay isnt a choice, people choose to be vegetarians!
What is wrong with you?

it wasnt a huge margin though. a few %, thats 50/50ish. Thats still massive support to the gay community. Thats a victory still.

Delighted to see such a clear majority for "yes" and so widespread across the country too.

Only sorry that I was denied the chance to add my personal Yes vote

So you would rather deny someone the same rights as you, even though, it costs you nothing , does not hurt you in any way and does nothing to change the meaning or sanctity of marriage in any way, and also does not force any church to marry same sex couples if they do not wish to. That , by any definition is a very selfish attitude. Thank goodness , for the sake of equality, you lost.

SSM Yes 62% , Presidential age No 73%.

Does anyone else think it's weird how we voted strongly to end discrimination in one referendum but voted strongly to keep discrimination in the other?

Schizophrenic voters are we?

I think the irish people want real political reform and saw through the bullshit government's attempt at it.

Well on some subjects anyway

Arguements like this are so inane, I see this all the time now, welcome to the 21st century Ireland etc which is complete rubbish, we still have gender inequality in Ireland. So I guess we are still living in the dark ages huh.

Well said Naughty. Gay people have as much right to feel as miserable and wretched as the married heterosexuals on here obviously do. Divorce lawyers aside obviously.

And now that we're all equal n' shit ... what now? Have we solved world hunger? Have the children in Africa stopped dying? No. No they haven't, you fucking lame assholes.

Go fucking die.
