Leaders on both sides of Ireland's gay marriage campaign say advocates of legalization have won a resounding victory with the ballot count still underway.
Senior figures from the "no" campaign, who sought to prevent Ireland's constitution from being amended to permit gay marriage, say the only question Saturday is how large the "yes" side's margin of victory will be from Friday's vote.

“Once a country legalizes Mothers KILLING their babies, anything and everything is OK.”
This cannot be said often enough. Elevating abortion to an art form has doomed us, because it was the “gateway” for the rest of the insanity to gain traction.
It is also no surprise that the “gay rights” movement got a lot more traction once the sex abuse scandals came out about priests in America. And of course those scandals received full coverage certainly much more than any scandal involving liberals.
Ireland is no longer Roman Catholic.
Russia and Serbia are still Orthodox Christian, despite decades of atheist-communist rule!!!!
So, what is the catholic leadership going to do about this? Seems like all of their teaching for decades has not had a good result. Perhaps a return to what the Bible actually teaches might be in order now?

Get all the fools on your side, and you’ll have the majority in any town.
Critical thinking is a rare and largely unpracticed art form. And those who do practice it, often start with very faulty premises.
Now even a false premise can eventually be thought through, as it fails to square with reality on more and more facets, and the intelligent response is to discard the false premise, and reformulate the thesis.
There is a reason that “gay marriage’ was not adopted ten years ago, or a hundred, or a thousand, or ten thousand years ago. It does not work, and is concerned only with decimating the current population on the planet.
Odd strategy. When it works in Saudi Arabia, I may then be persuaded of its value.
The Irish may have an excuse - many of them were probably drunk when they voted.
Fax “marriage” will never pass a vote in Mexico or the PI, or any other country that has a strong Catholic presence. And by that I mean Mass-attending Catholics. It passed in Ireland because BOTH POLITICAL parties are as liberal as the day is long and both wanted fag “marriage”. The Catholic Church has been dying for years in Ireland and this vote puts the final nail in the coffin. The homosexual priests scandal certainly helped to speed things along. No other country in the world epitomizes the timeless quote from Pope Pius V as Ireland epitomizes it. “All the evil in the world is due to lukewarm Catholics”. Sad, but true.
So what argument is left? What people are realizing is that the more gays marry, how little impact it is really having. The world's not ending so maybe God got it just a little wrong.
“I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled! But I have a baptism to undergo, and how distressed I am until it is completed! Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division. From now on there will be five in one family divided against one another, three against two and two against three. They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law” (Luke 12:49-53)
Ireland ditches the Cross for the anus.
The West is in its death-spiral. The vacuum its creating for itself will ultimately open the door for the Islamic crazies.

This may mean that two men can legally claim to be married, but it will not change the reality of their relationship other than its legal status.
That used to be science fiction. But when abortion and same-sex "marriage" and a completely narcisstic culture are embraced as the norm, it does seem to be the direction of things.
Not far off.
the islamists have a legitimate argument against the USA with gay/gay marriage and abortion
Never mind they have no sense of human life nor respect FOR it ... as long as the media cites OUR satanic practices .... the enemies of America and the government indoctrination graduates will accept it as a truism that must be changed
