Lots of comments offering congratulations and praise...... Except the final result is fail 😱😱. 3 subjects are less than the pass mark and 2 are marked as "incomplete", which I assume means they didn't submit all the course work.

Owryan wrote: Plenty of people, myself included, have kids who struggle in school. Hopefully what they DO NOT do is post up their kids results, tell the world they passed, yet those results clearly showed their child failed. Yes, there could be any number of reasons why they did poorly; illness, bereavement, mental health worries, idiot parents. But none of that excuses the parent's stupidity.

A wish that people learn to understand and accept that being gay is not a disease or mental disorder and is not a misconceived choice! People who are gay are not looking for special rights, but acceptance and equal rights. If you find the courage to stand up for what's right then please help promote love and acceptance & stop the hate!!!! ❤️🌈💛🌈💙🌈💖🌈💚🌈💜

kunst nugget wrote: » Patronizing? Yeah. Homophobic? Nah… can't see where the homophobia is there unless they came up with a new definition of it without telling me.
Hector Savage wrote: » OK Homophobic is a little strong here. Maybe I shouldn't have said it. True equality will happen when ones sexuality is not an issue at all - like with Leo Varadkar, why do the media even have to mention it ?? Did they mention that Enda Kenny was straight ? OK I get that it's to show progress as a nation, but we voted the marriage referendum in.

Hector Savage wrote: » Sure, so we still have some way to go untill these things aren't even said anymore. Imagine if someone you know said "A black guy started working with us!" wouldn't that be odd ? edit - odd as in the surprise is in that he's black - not just describing him
kunst nugget wrote: » Sure, when things are happening for the first time, there's always going to commentary about it - first gay leader is going to be one of those things. Could you have seen a possibility of something like this happening 20 years ago? I think things will move on pretty quickly though as he'll be judged on his performance not his sexuality. As an aside, I wouldn't have voted for him because I think Coveney has performed stronger in his cabinet posts but he wouldn't have the ease with the media that Varadkar has. Sexuality wouldn't have had any bearing on it.
