Ireland set to legalise same-sex marriage

[Aiden]

As much as hating on undertaker's posts is very popular, you're wrong. He posts his (often unpopular) views in threads that warrant them and refrains elsewhere in favour of discussing foreign folk. I don't think it's fair to continue to confront and attempt to ridicule somebody whose views on gay marriage are clearly informed by a christian upbringing, something equivalent to an atheist going round calling religious people idiots and fanatics without any solicitation to do so. You're trying to get a raise out of somebody who has already said that it is an unimportant issue and a lost battle - let it go and celebrate the triumph for equality

actually i was just wondering why he bothers if he feels it's useless

Yeah why say anything ever if it isn't going to result in immediate legal reform :S:S:S:S:S

As I posted on Facebook to the comment David Cameron put.

"Shouldnt Gay marriage be accepted anyway... it should be the same in every country, it's a bit of a ridicule to say they arent equal, they're still human afterall."

There is nothing different about anyone who is Gay or Straight, I have gay members in my family, theres nothing different about them. Why should it be like this in other countries, I don't why some countries dont allow it.

England only passed this in 2013, then followed by Scotland in 2014 and now Ireland in 2015...

Make it a law in every country that it is Legal to have same sex marriage.

When i saw the news on DailyMailUK about legalizing same-sex marriage in Ireland, i was pretty happy! Another country to add to the list that allows that. And a very happy occasion for the gay couples. Really happy for them! Afterall, i support LGBT and i think they deserve it

You might want to get rid of being gay being punishable by death, before trying to legalise gay marriage in every country.

Personally, I am against gay marriage. I believe that marriage is between man and woman, who in (the vast majority) of cases have children.

No doubt an unpopular view on this forum (and publicly in recent years, too).

If 2 blokes want to get married then they should have every right to do so. It's their country just as much as ours. Why should we stop them? Doesn't affect anyone in the slightest...

A great step forward for marriage equality, good to see.

Why do you think it should be for man and woman? Don't want to start an argument, just to understand the view

To me, marriage is the first stage to a family. Whilst gay people can adopt or use a surrogate mother (or sperm from a father), that child is still not biologically the couples. Sure, they can love the child - but there are children whom I love and support, I am still not their mother or father.

Also, marriage by definition could be viewed as a combination of two different things.

I have nothing against gay people being in relationships; just I do believe that marriage is between a man and a woman.

What is your stance on couples who are married and for whatever reason cannot conceive a child and use surrogate or adoption services? Do you think they shouldn't marry?
