As per usual it all centres around sex, and particularly two men having sex. Of course the term gay only applies to men doesn't it? The fact it's about two people in love wanting to make a commitment is completely lost on those against it.

Come on, langgy. Those opposed are uncomfortable and disgusted. We should ensure that their values trump the rights of what are obviously lesser beings, morally.
Oh shite, yeah, I forgot. My bad.![]()
You're right, now you only have to think about both of them doing it with other people.
Imagine a World where two people want to spend their entire life's with each other, disgusting.As per usual it all centres around sex, and particularly two men having sex.

Stop thinking about sex.I'm so thankful I don't have two dads sleeping together. Is it wrong to say this if I think it?
The law and media pressure make it awkward to say what you think?
Is the problem me, or is media pressure trying to make me think positively about something that's horrible from every angle.
Tbf, it's a long haul and a generational thing. People would have got massacred in my day if they had two gay dads, which is what @Grinner and @Pogue Mahone where saying yesterday from their experiences as an older bunch.Stop thinking about sex.
This isn't about sex, although two consensual adults can have sex if they see fit, be it straight or gay.
This is about 2 people in love wanting to share their lives together, why should this be exclusive to straight couples? why should a child that is orphaned or up for adoption be denied a loving, caring home and upbringing just because the adoptive parents happen to be a homosexual couple? Let me ask you this. do you believe that homosexuals choose to be gay? if yes then please send me your paypal details so that i can send you a fiver to go and buy yourself a clue. If No then it has absolutely no impact on the childs life if they are being brought up by two daddys or two mummys, so long as they child is being brought up in a loving home!
This is 2015 and homosexuality is not witchcraft, it is not evil.
I will go as far as to say that I am a straight man, but i would proudly walk in any march that helps promotes equal rights to homosexuals, this is about Love and frankly, there is far too much bullshit and hatred in this world to spend time denying rights to any people in love.
Guys in Ireland, Please vote Yes.
I totally get that, but the world has moved on.Tbf, it's a long haul and a generational thing. People would have got massacred in my day if they had two gay dads, which is what @Grinner and @Pogue Mahone where saying yesterday from their experiences as an older bunch.
There is a weird focus from the older folk on the actual gay sex act. Lesbianism is less penetrative I guess. I do think th epace of change towards acceptance has broadly been acceptance though.
It is becoming more mainstream- sounds daft but the guys in Modern Family probably help in there own way. Maybe the more they see it, the more people will accept it.I totally get that, but the world has moved on.
Obviously this is only my opinion, but i feel that with education and understanding it is possible that this kind of behaviour eventually decline, in fact i would say that it has declined a fair bit and with Pop culture shows such as modern family for example, people are starting to realise that children that are going into these 'alternative' families are getting loving homes and proper well rounded upbringings.
Wahey!
"To err is human; to admit it, superhuman." Can't say fairer than that.
Takes a big man to change his mind about something and admit to it in public. Fair play to you.
Wait a second. An internet argument where one part concedes the point?
It's madness, madness I tell you!
I had to reread the post several times to make sure I hadn't misunderstood![]()
Fair play, we'll have you tearing down no posters in no time.
Fair play to you.
More people should think like this.If I'm wrong I'm wrong no fecking point in trying to cover it up or go around the place like I wasn't
That's bizarre. Surely you have an irish passport?So, just as well I helped convince @The Black Pearl to do the right thing because I've just discovered I can't vote. I was born in England and have a British passport but moved to Ireland as a toddler, almost 40 years ago. Turns out this still means I'm a "resident British citizen" and don't get a vote in a referendum. Ho hum.
That's bizarre. Surely you have an irish passport?
So basically you're English and you mock me for being from Sligo all the time? Wanker.Nope. Was born in the 70s, while living in the UK. That was an era when having an Irish passport was not a good thing at all. I could (probably should!) have got Irish citizenship at any point since but basically couldn't be arsed. Blissfully unaware it would have any impact on my rights.
So basically you're English and you mock me for being from Sligo all the time? Wanker.
Look it, English, Irish, Gay, not Gay, Metrosexual, Culchie, Jackeen, Foreign, Black, White or Yellow, at the end of the day we're fecking all the one and that's the way I'm looking at things from now on.
You'd make an exception for those shifty cnuts from Sligo though. right? I'm all for equal rights but let's not go crazy here.
True, it's not like Cina didn't leave a cloud of dust after them below in it either once he turned 20 and his mammy said you're old enough to go do what you want now son. A bee line for Dublin he made, and never looked back. Quare enough aul' spot Sligo alright.

I have had some bizarre conversations in the bar where I work.
I'll be voting Yes, but as an anarchist and unmarried father I must say that this is about extension of privilege more than it's about equality. I think marriage should be scrapped personally.

You're probably right (about marriage being an outmoded concept) but if you deny people a specific privilege due to their sexual preference then correcting that is about equality, surely?
Anyhoo. Turns out I'm just a blow-in, watching all you grubby Irish folk hopefully doing the right thing. Feeling surprisingly pissed off about my oversight . Only one vote but you have to lose that right to appreciate it!
The lack of any kind of relevant argument from any no voters I have spoken to is very frustrating. They listen to what I have to say, have no counter argument for any of the points made but yet still say they are voting no
TBP be voting YES on Friday.
Thanks a million to everyone for making me see sense.
On the Jackeen thing, ye can all get fecked, I never saw as many Union Jacks as when Charles was in Sligo the other day.
As I said Sligo is a quare enough sort of spot, they don't seem to know what or who the hell they are. Since you brought it up though I don't think I've ever seen as many Irish flags flying around Gort where himself and the wife were camped out for a few nights. I thought we were having another St. Patricks day until some lad told what was going on. You'll have all that though!
Shows how many times you have voted in your life tooYou're probably right (about marriage being an outmoded concept) but if you deny people a specific privilege due to their sexual preference then correcting that is about equality, surely?

You could be worse than me. I think I have voted about 3 times in my life
