Ireland is saying no to homosexual marriage.

Didn't the EU recently threaten to throw out any country that did not embrace homosexual marriage?

I married Boston Irish, trust me on this, do not start a fight wiht the Irish. The EU can go pound sand, for they are a stubborn lot.

They did. I would love for Ireland to be evicted from the EU, one of the fastest growing European economies in a sea of dead wood.

I never quite understood why any nation would want to be a member of the EU in the first place.

They are certainly putting a lot of pressure on us to liberalize gay marriage. The reason gay marriage was rejected is because the Taoiseach (prime minister) said that a referendum on gay marriage would never pass, which is wholly correct.

Thankfully, the EU constitution was rejected, otherwise EU law would supersede all Irish law and then there would be no question of legalizing gay marriage. Anyway, the EU is now trying to introduce the important bits of their wretched constitution without the inconvenience of a democratic mandate.
