The Irish don't realize that they will be compelled to love their neighbors in every sense of the word.Congrats to Ireland. The first country to legalise gay marriage by popular vote.
Now lets see if Ireland spontaneously combust.
Nice to see the Catholic Church saying they have lost touch with the people. This has been happening for a while and it is about time.
The votes results
A total of 1,201,607 people (62.1%) voted Yes and 734,300 (37.9%) voted No.
The surprise was that while a lot of young voters registered for the first time. There was no notable divide between urban(more Liberal) or rural(More Conservative) OR between old and young.
I think the big think in Ireland while the No side tried a lot of scaremongering which was mainly shown to be inaccurate. The more religious saw this issue as a 'Love thy Neighbour..'
Next up polygamy, bestiality, some other perversion is waiting in the wings to fight for their rights too.
