If you mean intolerant to intolerance; yes indeed. That describes many of the 'Yes' advocates posting here.

There is such a thing as being equal, but different. I believe marriage is for a man and a woman. You can have same-sex civil partnership. That is equal, but different.

Can I ask (and no, I'm not trying to bait you), is it a case that you dislike gay people?

Or do you believe that gay people in a civil partnership or other union (not marriage) should have the same inheritance/next of kin/tax rights as married straight couples?

What is a Civil Partnership?

A civil partnership is legal recognition of a relationship between same-sex couples in Ireland for the first time.

Announcing the signing of the Bill, Minister for Justice Dermot Ahern described it as “one of the most important pieces of civil rights legislation to be enacted since independence.”

Civil partnership is a different legal union to that of civil marriage. However, civil partners will enjoy most of the same rights and responsibilities of a married couple with virtually all the same statutory rights and obligations being conferred upon the civil partners including maintenance, property, succession, pensions, social welfare and tax.

Comes down to that mythical 160 differences, as to next of kin

When couples are civil partners – will they be each other’s next of kin?

Equality legislation has been updated in line with laws on civil partnership so hospitals and other service providers must treat civil partners in the same way they treat traditional married couples. Also, in terms of succession -civil partners will rank and have the same entitlements as spouses, followed by children, parents and siblings in that order.

The whole '160 differences' was never properly challenged by the No campaign.

I think this is looking very good for a Yes, the retired folks who are more likely to vote no would surely have been out in force by now, it's the younger students and working families that would be more likely to wait until evening?

It seems to me it's about admitting to a criminal offence. As for the last six weeks: yes, I've heard a lot about marriage allegedly being redefined, but mostly from people who were happy to have it "defined" as discrimination against same-sex couples.

But the vast majority of No voters do not seem to be broadcasting the fact that they are voting no for some reason.
