Irish voters back gay marriage in 'social revolution'
Rueters ^ | 05-23-2015 | Padraic Halpin and Conor Humphries

Posted on 05/23/2015 7:42:35 AM PDT by NRx

Irish voters backed same-sex marriage by a landslide in a referendum marking a dramatic social shift in the traditionally Catholic country, government ministers and opponents of the bill said on Saturday.

Final results were not expected until later in the day, but ministers predicted Ireland had become the first country to adopt same-sex marriage via a popular vote by a margin of around two-to-one, just two decades after it decriminalized homosexuality.

...Diversity is an anti-religion, and anti-ideology, a nepotism which promotes everything except one’s own family.

Diversity therefore equals the destruction of any and all religions and of all positive ideologies.

Because Diversity can only be destructive: whatever IS is insufficiently or inexactly diverse.
Whatever IS must therefore be destroyed in order to make it MORE Diverse.
And there is no conceivable or measurable end to it. Yesterday’s Diversity is today’s intolerable lack of Diversity.

Diversity is the destruction of Good; and it is the destruction of all types of Good - however defined. All are chewed up and spat out by Diversity.

Diversity is the promotion of chaos by the destruction of Good; and then there-naming of chaos as Good.

Does this apply to Leprechauns too?

There appears to have been a lot of money behind the #voteyes effort.

Fine. When they as heterosexuals with children try to get their child into a prestigious early development pre-school come up against the targeted preferences that consider sexual orientation, race, mixed components, et al, then they’ll understand.

It isn’t fantasy this concept. There is an entire episode on Modern Family about the tribulations of the two gay men who compete to get their adopted Asian daughter into a pre-school like that. IIRC, they got beat out by a biracial, binational pair of lesbians with a handicapped child....

The common normal man or woman isn’t affected by this but when you encourage and legitimize stuff like this, then be prepared for the consequences.

At least they will own it, consequences and all. We are likely to get it forced on us.

Bigger ‘priest boy love’ scandal in Ireland than here. That’s a big part of the problem.

Normalizing polygamy is the next step.

Polygamy is a couple steps more normal than sodomite marriage.

The margin of 2:1 in favor of gay marriage is very extreme for a nation that is predominantly Catholic.

There might have been some non citizens voting.

Maybe the IRA snuck in from N. Ireland and cast ballots.

Ireland just jumped into the neo pagan decadent toilet.

Probably the HRC — Human Rights Campaign. These freaks are loaded with cash and very good at pushing their perverted agenda.

Unless we fight back.
