NORTHERN IRELAND, September 12, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) – Nearly thirty companies from and outside Northern Ireland have signed a letter calling on the province to recognize same-sex “marriages” within its borders.
Organized by the left-wing Amnesty International UK, the letter argues that redefining marriage is an economic necessity.
“A diverse, outward-looking and inclusive society is essential to create a vibrant and competitive economy and a prosperous future for Northern Ireland,” it claims. “Equality contributes to an environment of creativity and excellence where our LGBT staff feel able to bring their whole selves to the workplace and where their relationships will be respected.”
Signatories include Allstate, Axiom, the Bank of Ireland, Citi, Coca-Cola, IBM, Liberty Mutual Insurance, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Sodexo, and more.
“Without full legal recognition of same-sex marriages retaining and attracting talent can be difficult,” Rainbow Project director John O’Doherty claimed. “The brain drain from Northern Ireland is a recognised fact and it is important that we reflect upon all of its causes, not least of all the fact that Northern Ireland remains the only part of these Islands not to recognise equal marriage.”
The “brain drain” is a common talking point among pro-LGBT activists. The province has no laws stopping employers from offering their own incentives to homosexual employees, however, and pro-family advocates argue that any debatable economic benefits to are more than outweighed by the cultural harm done by redefining the family and diluting marriage’s link to child-rearing.
Both the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland recognize same-sex “marriage,” with Northern Ireland being the lone holdout (the province remains a holdout on abortion, as well). Belfast’s high court ruled last year that Northern Ireland did not have any international “human rights” obligation to redefine marriage.
It remains to be seen how long that will remain the case, however; Sky News found in April that 76 percent of poll respondents answered that it “should be legal,” whereas just 18 percent answered that it shouldn’t.
Good!
"I'd Like to Buy the World a Coke Glory Hole
Yeah I always wondered why it tastes different whenever I come over to the US.
SHEEEEIT!
.
So then, in America before homosexual marriage was legalized, LGBT types didn’t bring their whole.selves to work? What the hell does this statement even mean?..
Yeah, Coke tastes better to me. Pepsi is too sugar.
But when I said “Pepsi, Pepsi, Pepsi” I was also thinking of an old John Belushi skit on SNL from way back when it was good. He plays a waiter whose English is poor, and yells “Pepsi” as the customer repeatedly asks for a Coke.
Their lawyers, marketing department, diversity department and Lord knkws what other fake departments are full of radicals and pervs. Every company in America is infested with these people. The tail is wagging the dog. All goes back to lawyers.
You know, in some ways, capitalism really does suck.
Oh, it’s absolutely true. They consider it a matter of justice to their sexually dysfunctional and gender-disoriented employees.
Recall that Marx admired capitalism for destroying traditional societies, thus clearing the ground for the proletarian revolution.
That’s not true. The Creation —— the natural world — is also, itself, a source of truth. “The heavens declare the glory of God.” “Day unto day imparts knowledge.” Like the Scriptures: same Author.
Coke. Is a carbonated beverage; it does not demand anything. What needs to be made public is the identity of the people doing this nonsense and then, they must be directly conrronted, and defeated. If the righteous are not willing struggle and do the dirty work of the Kingdom, then the nation and the West will be destroyed.
Another illustration of the unbelievable power the homosexual activists have. They have saturated the Roman Catholic Church and almost every other denomination. They have their way in governments around the world,definitely in Washington, now we see they have taken control of the board rooms of major corporations. What’s next??
“Coca Cola, IBM among corporations demanding N. Ireland allow same-sex ‘marriage’
Demand this you faggots. Not in my Ulster.
Ah, the ipecac challenge.. love it!
“Yeah, Coke tastes better to me. Pepsi is too sugar.”
Pepsi has always tasted a little “medicinelike.” I avoid FF restaurants that are sole Pepsi purveyors. But the larger question here is these mega companies “deciding” that somehow their management “gets to use their profits” to “manage our social morays for us.” This is actually the one glaring problem with capitalism. I don’t think anyone thought that we would see it allow the few to concentrate the collective wealth of the world, then decide that because they are so “righteous” ( read RAT BA$TARD LIBERAL) that they can usurp the average Joe’s rights and become the “arbiters” of what is right and wrong. And Pepsi and some of these other producers, as bad as they seem to be, are “lightweights” by comparison to the “social media companies.”
Hope Ireland tells them to get lost.
““manage our social morays for us.”
You have some socialized eels?
Wow! :-)

Yet more evidence that the multiculti crowd are intolerant of any culture but the godless culture of secular humanism.
