Is Ireland ready for a gay Taoiseach? [i.e. prime minister; barf alert]

“I’d like any contest, whenever it does happen, to be about not personalities but people’s vision for the future of the country and how we can move on from a situation where we’ve crawled out of a very difficult recession into one where we can be much more ambitious about the future of our country. I’m not going to make my personal life and my family life an issue in any campaign, and I hope and trust that others won’t do either,” he added.

The speaker is Leo Varadkar, favorite to be the next leader of Fine Gael in a short few weeks and taoiseach as well.

Varadkar, who qualified as a medical doctor but went into politics instead, came out as gay in 2015 to no one’s surprise, but now that he is close to the mantle of supreme leader, there is some dirty football going on. […]

How will Holy Catholic Ireland react to all this? It will very much break down along age lines, with the younger generation not giving a toss and the older rural types not happy, it seems to me. …

Varadkar .... ah now there’s an Irish name, if I ever heard one. So glad my ancestors braved the North Atlantic and Georgia welcome committee to get off that beautiful green rock. The ones we left behind seem intent on turning the place to shite.

He pushed the same-sex “marriage” referendum (offically called the “Marriage Equality Act” or the 34th Amendment); AFAIAC, that was improper use of his office.

He is also quite the hack, bouncing from transportation minister to health minister to “social protection” minister in a short five years.

He would be about the worst man for the job.

The Irish Central is published in New York City founded by a Socialist and now owned by a venture capital firm.
My belief is that it should not appear here in Free Republic any more than the Daily Worker or Kos.

Why is there a need to know anyone’s sexual proclivities? Homosexuals have that mental defect, but can be proficient at a particular job and do it well. Like Ed Koch in NYC, who many believed to be homosexual. If he was, he kept it to himself and did a fair (though too liberal) job as mayor.
