Labour wants a Referendum on Gay Marriage

[Baddaddy]

Actually this could be a good idea, imagine Ireland being the Gay Capital of the World, people flying in from all over to be Married instead of those civil service things.

It would give a massive boost to the tourist industry and bring in Billions of Euro.

The only problem I can see is this never getting a Yes vote in the referendum, too many bog people would vote against it.

Its actually new ideas like this that we need, ideas outside the box.

Couple,no pun intended, the above with electing David Norris as President, I think we'd be quids in.

I absolutely agree with Gay people being able to marry...

[Dr Pat]

Just think of it if the Referendum carried, Norris elected as Uachtaran na hEireann and he marries, we would be referring to The President and the First Gentleman.

Notsure that the PRChina, which will be the world's No 1 power, would be delighted, though, even if they are Communists.

[Tweek]

Its a cynical Election Gimmick by the Labour Party to get in the Gay vote.

They already have about 90% of it.

At worst its an attempt to shore up their vote in Central...

[Nolte]

we would be referring to The President and the First Gentleman.

sure, what do we refer to the president and the president husband as already?

And create jobs too as well as help people pay mortgages and pay the bills

Gilmore for Taoiseach is this his priority?

Oh sweet Jeebis. Labour have plenty of policy on the economy. You are allowed to have policy on other issues ya know .

Personally, Im in favour of gay marriage, or even letting people be married to more than one person at the same time. But, with the Working Class being under threat of extermination through forced emigration, this is not the time to start talking about a costly and distracting referendum.

Im sorry but WHAT?

Doesnt extermination mean to kill off something/body en masse? So as a communist are you talking about the working class as a class, or just as a bloc of people in Ireland? If you mean as a class, even if every member of the working class of ireland legged it to britian that wouldnt mean the extermination of the working class, they'd just be somewhere else. It looks like your using the term working class in a national way as opposed to an international way, not very communist!

[seanad voter]

Not really in a 'national' way though, just a 26 county way.

[ocoonassa]

I know that many well heeled liberal fops are petty enough to be swayed by this tokenism, but I hope that gay people generally have more sense than to elect a right wing party just because it promises a referendum. They can and will promise anything to get votes, best thing to do is to assume that it's all lies.

That wil help solve the banking crisis, pandering to a narcissistic, unrepresentative pressure group.

What has it got to do with the banking crisis? Are you suggesting that political parties should only have policies on cleaning up FF's mess and nothing else?

And who is this narcissistic unrepresentative pressure group you speak of?
