The Irish Government has announced that it will hold a nation-wide referendum to seek approval for the legalization of same-sex marriage in this predominantly Catholic country before the summer of 2015. The Catholic Church said it will actively push for a rejection of this proposal.

Say it isn’t so.

It will pass overwhelmingly. As of last year, the Irish public approved of same-sex marriage by 3 to 1.

Considering how many homos are in the church in Erie these days, they might as well legalize pedophilia for a two-fer.

Damn you!

My brother’s Irish expat inlaws tell him the place has gone absolutely to Hell in a handbasket since joining the EU.

They’ve been in since 1972. Eamon de Valera sold them out to it.

I always had the stereotype that Ireland was an ultra-Catholic nation with extremely rigid moral values. Is that no longer true?

These days, Dublin brags about having more gays per capita than San Francisco. What does that tell you?
