Same Sex Marriage Referendum Mega Thread Part 2

humanji

The other thread was approaching 10k posts, so we've started a new one.

You can find the old thread here: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057426700

The same warnings and thread bans from previous SSM threads carry over to this one.

Please be civil. If you see a new poster posting outrageous comments, don't engage with them. They are trying to get a rise out of you. Report them, then ignore them.

The same goes for any user that's bothering you. Don't resort to namecalling.

Summary so far: We did it.

Edit: Its Official. We did it.

The decency of the Irish people was not limited to the liberal leafy suburbs of Dublin, nor the solidarity from the flats, but that decency came from the cliffs of Donegal, the lakes of Cavan, the farmyards of Kildare, the lanes of Kerry.

Bit disappointed to be honest. If the referendum result had been timed better we would have got through the eurovision semi the other night on the back of it. :pac:

They thought canvassing was hard? Wait until they start planning the wedding!

The Irish public have send a massive message of support for LBGT community, along with another message that rural Ireland isn't as backwards as people think.

Saw No posters get taken down in Drumcomdra already. Tail between legs.

Following on from the other thread, a few people commented that no party was supporting a no vote because it wouldnt be popular.

Thats the point, if there was support for a no vote then the politicians would have went with that. They are there to represent the people and the people wanted a yes vote. You voted who would be in government and everyone got to have a say on the matter.

In the end the people decided they wanted same sex marriage, the government supported what the people wanted.

Tbf this is the most respectable thing they've done in the whole campaign. Posters of either side are a ****ing eyesore on our country

I said it in another thread, the fact that Sinn Fein didn't go against this just to spite the government shows how little support there was for no.

Woohooooooooo

That it all.

Not that many would want to marry in a church anyway, just like lots of straight couples...

I'm sure it won't be long before some worthy takes up the cudgel on this one. The NI cake fiasco should be a wake-up call.

Yeah, just like what happened with divorce.

Yeah, let's begin the campaign portraying all straight couples as not wanting to get married in church. Talk about the tail wagging the dog. :rolleyes:

I expect our local councillor to leave his mug up on the streets for as long as possible

Politcal parties had their own posters and this councillor got on the bandwagon to get some recognition out there

Angling for a seat in the general election no doubt

I see Paddy and Keith are being gracious in defeat.
Paddy claiming that they "won the argument but lost the vote". Is this guy delusional?

Nope. I'm hoping the bishops carry through their threat not to do the civil bit of a marriage anymore.
They won't though. There's only so much shooting themselves in their foot that they're capable of.
