Let us never forget the time all those gays murdered six million odd straight people in such horrific ways.

Norris just said to Browne (in relation to some sailors who propositioned St Patrick) that he denied their advances, but let them tickle his nipples.

Norris is hilarious

Not a NSA agent

Both happy and sad about donegal. On one hand its a yes but on the other hand theres a lot of people against it. Like to think its just people trying to stick it to the government rather than being against trating gay people as equal but even then they are willing to sacrifice that just so they can say "lol, f u governmeint"

I think it is important for people to stand up for what they believe. I am a firm believer in the ballot box and I always vote. I believe the ballot box is the final say, and there is no point being angry if the vote doesn't go as one would like.
Everyone had an equal vote, so it is better to be happy that we have democracy, rather being bitter and angry over a result.
I have never missed a vote in over 20 years, always vote to what I believe. Then I find I am at ease with myself and I can accept that others went to the polls, and voted for what they believed and they are at ease with how they voted.
So when the result comes out, it doesn't bother me if my vote is on the losing side, I am just happy everyone has a vote and free to vote how they wish, and that gives us what people want.
Thank you for your kind words, and again, congrats to Yes.

I really have nothing but respect for you after seeing your mature, respectful, gracious posts of late.

I'm sure we'll find something else to disagree on in another thread, but you're a good guy and I'm sure it's safe to say that you've earned a lot of respect from both sides.

As I predicted if the same sex marriage referendum was passed liberals would push for very liberal abortion Law's like the UK has; #repealthe8th already trending heavily on Twitter last few hour's; some people out there are not content with taking away a child's To a mother and father when possible, now want to take away a child's right to life also.

This is not a thread to fight an abortion debate, or fight a referendum that is over.
Fight with those #repealthe8th on twitter.

We should give Yes their day.

Psychological abuse still happens today in Ireland. My brother and I have lived through it, barely. The effects are still obvious to anyone who knows us.

To be fair, they are waiting for an interspecies marriage referendum up there.

I am a yes voter, i mentioned in one of the other threads that i did it mainly because i have a little boy (and however many more on the way) who might one day be gay and want to marry soneone they love. Simple as that is was a yes vote. Now, even if i didn't have a child it would have been a yes off all the obvious reasons  

I Can't wait for my first gay wedding....

Why is it so hard understand why a father of a gay son, would not like to see his son ,bound by legal contract to another man ?

As for religion, I don't believe in any. The Bible is a guide on how civilisations rise and fall. Ireland is falling.

I must be a homophobe because I don't agree with this legislation. Or maybe I am what you lot were calling a "mouth breather" in earlier threads. Is that another way of calling us breeders?

Will Roscommon be the only no? The other likely no voters flipped yes

Mechanical Clocktail

Roscommon/S. Lietrim, the only no so far. Ye'd have to ruin the streak lads.

If there was a No in any area, I had a feeling it would've been Roscommon.

Bacchus

Really no need to be insulting Roscommon/Leitrim. This is going to pass by an overwhelming majority. There were no voters in all corners of the country, there just happened to be a few more there.

I don't blame Roscommon. It always has to try hard to stand out on the national stage. I mean common is in their name.

Xenji

Yes 52.02% and No 47.98% declared for Mayo according to RTE, very tight and a tremendous amount of work was put in by the Yes campaigners.

Peregrine

70% Yes in Dublin South(68% turnout). 75% in Dublin South East.

Get over your Adams obsession. Try and take a panoramic view of the history of the North's conflict.

Seeing TD John Lyons earlier on TV with tears of pride in his eyes talking about all the people who travelled home to help carry this over the line, sums up the day for me.

Very proud day for this country, huge step in the right direction.

We have had Sky news on in reception all day, and every time I walk past, the screen is as posted above!

The whole crowd just booed in Dublin castle when they heard Roscommon voted no, no respect for people's vote there i see.

LOL moment on RTE when yer man professed his love for his husband on air and the crowd behind roared "nooooo".... the Roscommon result was put up on the big screen Unfortunate timing.

That's putting some colour into the conversation. I don't think getting huffy is the right response, it's just honest reaction. Chill out.

Ah feck off. It's a party. Nobody liked a gloomy county at a party. T'was a good natured boo.

Peregrine

71.6% in Dun Laoghaire. 67% turnout.

That's half the Dublin ones in. Should be a similar % in the other half.

For once, despite his views always just amounting pretty much to "I don't agree with them because they're liberalz" I agree with Jonjo. Booing is childish.

I'm not huffy. I'm in a great mood and I'm chilled The "really" was just because the posts I quoted were literally a few posts above mine yet you couldn't see them. Nothing more to it than that.

Respect for their right to vote doesn't mean they have to be happy with the result.

To all those who voted no or are unhappy. Just look at all the love around Dublin castle ...let their love envelope you ..it will I promise :-)

I wish RTE would leave the church and its clergy behind as much as the population has.

They got too much airtime.

Yup a bit childish but it's a total party atmosphere down there. Cheer for a every yes, boo every no. Put an inflatable bouncy ball in there and they'd cheer every time it gets knocked into the air and boo when hits the ground.
