Is it time to re-introduce the ban on homosexuality in Ireland ?

    When I see pictures like this in the Sunday World I think its no wonder Homosexuality use to be illegal in Ireland.

    Of course anybody who speaks out about men having sex in a public park in front of children will automatically be branded a "homophobic" by the PC brigade.

    But this has now become a very serious problem.

    My question is should we re-introduce the ban homosexuality in order to tackle this growing problem ?

    I believe heterosexuals can have sex in public too. We should probably ban that too.

    Lets ban lollipops too because someone at some stage had something happen to them that are giving the rest of them a bad name!

    I've heard there are places people go...

    Sex in public (be it hetro or homosexual or anything else) is already illegal, not sure why the Sunday World are entering Daily Mail style public outrage style journalism, I always thought causing hysteria over gangland types was their bag.

    I believe having sex in public is illegal as it is and accepted by most.

    For ALL sexualities.

    If you are putting a poll up about this then ok.
    But wanting to ban homosexuality makes you a homophobe.

    it's as common with straight people too.

    so, clearly, NO , it shouldnt be banned. what's wrong with you???

    Ya because a man and woman cant have sex outside too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,477 ✭✭✭✭Knex*


    Is this even a serious question anymore?

    Its so laughable a notion it should only be reserved for Alan Partridge type sketches.

    Maybe we should ban concerts at Slane as well? Dumbass thread.

    Jesus OP go on and edit that photo so it doesn't appear on tablet.

    I opened that near a couple of kids, don't care if it's gay or straight like but it's bad enough that scum bucket of a newspaper publishing anything without getting help from others.

    What if it was two women, or a man and a woman?

    You sir, are a homophobic.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,068 ✭✭✭yermandan


    People are actually responding to this bait?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,097 ✭✭✭kiffer


    Sex in public is banned.
    It doesn't make a difference if they are gay or straight.
    Look,
    We've all done the sex in a public place, hope not to get caught, end up ruining your girlfriends clothes and then annoy her by falling alseep in the sun thing but you don't have anyone suggesting that we ban straightness...

    Can we not have a civilised debate without calling people names ?

    Emm your a bigot theres no other word for it really. What if two heterosexuals were caught instead would you call for a ban on that as well? No you would not and therefore you are a bigot its not really that hard to understand the logic here
