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."

Some brilliant freeper told me that the word matrimony derives from a meaning of giving birth. Wouldn’t that settle the argument?

Frustration with the lack of kids voices in debates on this issue??? Really???

Do we really want children, who have limited knowledge and life experience , weighing in on public policy issues????

Gee next thing you know someone will suggest lowering the voting age to 12.

Do citizens there get a say with their vote? It no longer matters here with radical activist judges and a dictator in the White House.

I don't! But if you are unfortunate enough to be near broadcast TV for any length of time you will see that advertisers, their customers, and liberal social engineers all think that we do.

Dear liberals: Marriage equality exists.

There are a few exceptions, and alas, typically it is only liberals and Muslims who need these things clarified - you can't marry a child (sorry Mohamed), you can't marry your son or daughter (paying attention, liberals?), you can't marry your siblings (I see you texting there, liberals, pay attention!), and you can't marry your aunt & uncles.

Oh, and since marriage is the union of a man and a woman, you'll need someone of the opposite sex (not gender identity) who is willing to marry you. The law is absolutely blind as to if you're straight, bi, queasy or whatever other popular terms liberals like to come up with.

Note: even in liberal California, this passed overwhelmingly.

It is not marriage equality they seek.

It is foisting their perverted delusions upon people who have a correct perspective on marriage.

I'm not asking this facetiously, don't know if I'm using that word right, lol, but besides one tribe in south America, in which the men have orgies every night (yuck!!), has gay marriage or a deviant lifestyle being the norm, ever been accepted wholesale in a prosperous country and did it keep thriving afterwards?
I think the Spartan soldiers mixed it up with the young recruits but not sure if that was on the down low

I can’t imagine any nation surviving widespread homosexuality without intentionally impregnating the women.

More and more I’m getting the feeling that your stay here will be short-lived.

I ask inquisitive questions!! What was wrong with what I asked? Why do I have to tip toe around?
I’m sorry. I am going to limit my posts alot as I enjoy the board very much.
Kind of strange though. I assume the answer is that no civilization EVER thrived on depraved institutions.
Maybe the closed mindedness of some is the reason more don’t donate.
5, if you need to kick me off, i’ll save 30 to 50 bucks a month and live.
Do what you have to do
