Every youtube vid watched in Ireland for the past month has come with a 3min long add about how you should vote no for the good of the gays.... must have been a massive amount of money poured into that advertising campaign if anything it was so obnoxious the way it was put forwards that I think it would have turned No voters into a yes just out of annoyance at the advert.

Yeah I had a quick check this morning when I woke up, the Sun was in the sky in place of the promised rain of locusts and my cat wasn't off looking for a dog to marry like some had suggested it would be.

On a serious note come September I'll be married for 5 years and the Vows me and my Wife took those years ago were in no way weakened or changed when we voted yes to allow others to share in the same commitment to love each other that we did years ago. As my status says, never been prouder of Ireland in all my years alive here.

(on a less serious note I think roscommon is in the shape of a spooky ghost.)

Hours in photoshop!

Probably true LOL. I definitely would have done the same and changed my vote into a Yes.

So who gets to define what a family is in this day an age? You?

I would argue that witholding the right to marry from gay couples is in itself 'against family'.

With regards to Roscommon voting No. You have to remember that Roscommon was one of the worst counties affected by the recession. Its youth population would have been decimated by emigration and also a lot of people voting No in opposition to the government regardless of what the election stood for as a form of protest.

There is hope.

How hard is it to understand that you can hate whatever group of people as much as you want, just don't ask for them to have fewer legal rights than you? It shouldn't even be worth arguing.

Some people think the law should back up hatred of a minority.

Not trying to disrespect you, but this is none sense. How could gay couples form a family when they can’t have children? Being gay is against human nature and this is reality. Men and women together is the natural instinct of human beings, while Gay marriage is an atrocious and obscene act which belongs to unsound nature. Marriage does not mean sexual enjoyment only but also the establishment of a family on hygienic and safe foundations.

Human rights should not be extended to include human destruction and diverting from the human nature and the principles on which this universe was created.
