SRS, With the greatest respect, if only threads without abuse and fighting are allowed to stand, that means that only threads with which the "liberals" here agree with will ever stand, as they are the abusers and the fighters.
This is a tactic....as I have explained many times, whenever their ideology is exposed they start being abusive and the thread is closed.

I thoroughly agree with Leeneia....this is not a vote for any kind of meaningful equality.....it is rather an indictment of media power.
If the vote went 2 or 3 to 1 in favour of "yes", there would still be millions of "evil bigots" living in Ireland, because that is what this vote really means....the legalisation of tyranny.

Homosexual "marriage" is not a door to any type of meaningful equality.....only economics and a change in the political system can provide that, and the media are hardly likely to encourage THAT sort of dissent.

As an atheist, I believe the Catholic Church were completely correct on this issue, marriage is about many things but chiefly the construction of the natural family.
This looks like the beginning of the end for Christianity, we are headed towards a completely secular society where anything goes and "self" rules.
