Irish Kids Encourage Citizens To Vote 'Yes' On Marriage Equality Referendum

Straight from the mouths of babes, these kids are here to teach you a thing or two about marriage equality.

If you've been out of the loop, the Irish lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community is currently fighting for citizens to vote "Yes" on the country's Marriage Equality Referendum on May 22.

In this video, "Kids Say Yes for Marriage Equality in Ireland," a few kids offer their opinions about same-sex couples getting married. According to the Kids Say Yes YouTube page, the video was made by a mother in a same-sex relationship who is "frustrated with the lack of kids’ voices in media debates" about the referendum.

At the very least, videos like this give us hope for a more tolerant future generation of leaders.

"I think it's nice the way the whole world is different," one child shares in the above video. Another child adds, "You get a different experience with every family."

The Irish so bravely clung to qq true faith in spite of dungeon fire and sword, and now like the rest of the Christian West toss it out as so much rubbish.

Marriage is one man one woman. Not 2 men or 2 women or a man and donkey or a brother and sister and on and on................

Who is telling these kids to say this? Kids don’t come up with sick things like this on their own.

Remember when the nuts were calling marriage just a piece of paper and it didn’t matter? Now they want to change what it means by force.

Well I thought it was an OK question...historically, where a culture has embraced homosexuality (or at least allowed for the exploitation of boys), women have been marginalized. Sparta as you mentioned, as well as ancient Greece, Nazi Germany (Google “The Pink Swastika”), and Islam fit the pattern.

Thanks for the reply. You reminded me of a few of the depraved countries that did it. Although I admire Sparta for their bravery. But it is a sick custom and I do not understand how it helped their nation. I will look up the pink swastika
Wow, I am very inquisitive and like to get knowledge from the people of this board, but some get offended a little too easily.
I NEVER said I approved of that sick village in south America. But I saw on PBS many years ago. Some American fruit went to live with them. Yeah, its insane but it happened. Mentioning that story does not make me liberal. I am dyed in the wool conservative.
The biggest problem I have with gay marriage is it mocks male female marriage and the reason for getting married, you are so in love you want to have a child naturally
Two, I cant imagine kids growing up normal. I could be wrong on both accounts. I am not good at formulating and articulating an argument :)
