SSM why are you voting no?

No Voter And Proud

I voted no because of many reasons

Obviously it doesnt matter now as the intimidation won out for the yes side.

No
The shopkeeper wouldn't serve me as he was a heterophobe.

What intimidation are you talking about?
700K people voted no. The "intimidation" didn't really work.
What worked was getting people up off their asses to vote for something that meant a lot to them, be it on the Yes or No side.

The intimidation of being told I was a homophobe or a bigot because I was voting no.

There's this thing - and it's mad, I know! - called the secrecy of the f*cking ballot.

Nobody intimidated you into voting anything. That gun to your head in the polling booth was imaginary.

Correct.
Nobody intimidated me, as I voted NO - how I wanted to vote. I'm not sure how others reacted however. Obviously some were intimidated by the LBGT lobby groups.

My point was that NOBODY was intimidated into voting a certain way in this election. You can tell everyone you voted whatever way you like. They can't prove otherwise.

Now, really, stop showing yourself up. Put the toys back in your pram and accept defeat graciously.

Sure they were. Like the infamous "silent no" vote, who were in fact so silent that they didn't exist?

Some of those no voters really cant let it go, the rest of us would just move on but they have to keep having a raging erection over the idea of someone calling them a homophobe.

It's half caused by that, half caused by their frankly weird obsession with the notion of two men having sex.

On a side note, this result could have a great effect on Dublin nightlife/tourism etc. Dublin could have a bit of a San Francisco/Amsterdam effect where a vibe has developed of a "gay friendly" city. Obviously it won't change things to such an effect as to "camp" up the city but I guarantee you there will be more gay bars/festivals in the next few years. Can only improve the tourism aspect to give us a bit more identity than shamrocks and guiness..

One of the first things I thought of too.

Does anyone think there will be more of a public showing of affection from the same sex couples cause referendum pass.?
I won't care personally live an let live. Are we headed a bit more San Fran?, it would take a few years maybe..

Never two women for some reason.

Seeing as the subject matter is a bit passe at this stage, the thread is probably best locked. Not much good can come of it now.

Thanks everybody for an entertaining and sometimes informative thread!
