I thought this argument was long dead. What part of NO don't you people understand ?

I was gonna reply to it too but there's no point after that

and the prize for the stupidest post ever seen on these hollowed forums goes to our friend from Donegal, congratulations Doc.

I may just give up talking to you peoplee, we will let the voting speak for itself. Right now I will get more across while speaking to a wall, you people are so hellbent on changing nature you are being blinded by your own happy fantasies.

I certainly hope I'm not around on the day it becomes acceptable in Ireland for same sex people to be engaging in all sorts of sexual behaviour in the middle of shopping centres, restaurants etc. (and before you say it is already happening, no it is NOT)

On reading into the animal homosexuality thing a bit more, over 450 animal species engage on homosexual acts. One engages in the persecution of those who engage in said acts. Can anyone guess which one?

I think what made me see sense, was imagining my son growing up and if he was gay, not being able to marry who he loves, the way I married my husband.

I couldn't look him in the eye knowing I had a chance to change it and voted no. And for what reason? It won't have any impact on my life, but eh....nature?

I was making the point that such a shallow and ill founded argument can easily be turned around to reflect the opposite viewpoint because there is literally no substance to it.

Ah we're onto the natural thing again. Perhaps you missed my post asking why something observed in many species worldwide is seen unnatural? Any answers for us on that one?

Ihatecuddles - That needn't be a fear for you my good friend, now assuming you provide a proper upbringing it won't be.

Eh I hope I'm not around if its ever acceptable to be doing anything sexual in a shopping centre. I'd grimace looking at a straight couple snogging the face off each other, nothing to do with sexuality.

Genuinely laughed at this. You poor petrified person, you! Hilarious! Slippery slopes all over Tescos with big hairy bears just desperate to grab you and give you a good seeing to beside the cereal and biscuits ...I can see it now

If you don’t believe in gay marriage you’re a dickhead because…it’s got nothing to do ****ing with you. Doesn’t matter who loves who or who wants to be with who. It’s none of your ****ing business. If you hate gay marriage, you know what you should do?

DON’T MARRY A GAY PERSON

That’ll be your little way of getting around it, that’ll ****ing show the gays eh?

Surely you're not implying people with a proper upbringing won't turn out to be gay? That would be reprehensible even by your standards.

If he's gay then I've failed as a parent?

Has anyone managed to post anything about voting no while backing it up with facts? Plenty of "just because" but nothing showing stuff proven to be true.

That's evil-minded and full of sh1t. How dare you?

Besides, I'm not afraid of my son being gay. He is or he isn't - he'll be perfectly himself, whichever way he turns out. You've insulted me deeply here.

When asked for facts they tend to either repeat the same thing but angrier or more defensive, or disappear like farts in the wind.

GO ON SHADOW !!! let out all the anger, I can picture you smashing your head off a wall right now with the anger in that post.

Now in a much more civilised manner I will calmly walk into my local polling station, I will queue in an orderly fashion and calmy mark my desired box on the sheet of paper. THAT is how we express our opinion in this country, NOT through a foul mouthed tirade as you have just given an example of, if anything, after reading that drivel I will be voting NO more than ever.

May I recommend you turn off your device and take a walk ? It seems like you could do with one.

But they sound so certain, obviously Im missing something but nobody is willing to share


Notice nobody has been around to warn people about not saying mean things about others because it turns people away, unless saying stuff like you are unnatural and people wont become gay with a good upbringing is ok.

AboutaWeekAgo

If you need any other reason for voting yes just imagine how fabulous a gay wedding would be. Fabulous I tell ya!

Penny Tration

Y'know, much as I hate homophobic people, I'd genuinely have more respect for a 'no' voter here if he or she came right out and said 'I don't like gay people.'

I would completely disagree with their view, but I'd have to respect them for being honest, instead of the bull****, half assed excuses bigots are using on this thread.

Doctor Jimbob

Notice how he ignores the posts asking questions and focuses on the more angry ones. Either him or one of the others will likely be on after a while to start the whole 'Yes people are all shouty and mean' thing again.

What would be the point ?
Been open season on both sides of this argument for hours ......pointing it out would be a waste of effort.

Tin Foil Hat

I'll be voting. Of course I will. And I'll be voting Yes.
I don't believe than this referendum should have been held, though. This could easily have been sorted through legislation (there is no constitutional ban on marriage equality) so human rights did not need to be thrown to the mob.

Changing nature? Really? How am I going to achieve that? As I understand it marriage is a human institution, not something that can be found "in nature", so I'm not really getting how the two are linked.

So my wife has a sister who lives with her boyfriend and their young son. They also have a younger brother who had the same upbringing and happens to be gay. So by your logic, even though he had the same upbringing, there was something improper about it and it turned him gay. Or else there was something wrong with the girls' upbringing that didn't turn them gay. Perhaps you could clear that up for me?

I don't agree with banning the likes of Larry Wildman because he stated his opinions. I may not agree with them but it's peoples opinions that add to the debate on this important issue.
I think it's a mistake not to allow debate.
