More than 62% voted in favour of amending the country's constitution to allow gay and lesbian couples to marry.

It is the first country in the world to legalise same-sex marriage through a popular vote.

And they are majority Catholic, as well. Quite different from the US, obviously

America is so screwed up. We have people here going on and on about how gay marriage is SUCH a threat and SO unsafe yet Josh Duggar is just .... walking around.

Awfully quiet on the conservative catholic and fundamentalist Christian front here.

Speechless that a good catholic country like Ireland has left the fold?

I find this really fascinating. And depressing that we can't get our act together. But kudos to Ireland. I hope we get there in the new few years.

The abuse scandal in Ireland allowed this to happen. This abuse scandal was largely gay abuse. Thus there is a certain irony in what paved the way for this vote.

Child abuse? Very different than consensual sex. Pedophiles have their own sexual orientation. Kids.

I call a priest having an affair with a fourteen year old boy to be an abusive, gay relationship. If you want to pretend it is not homosexually oriented- that is your own fiction.

I'm a practicing Catholic and am thrilled. I'm also Irish and proud. Pope Francis has done a lot in my view to bring the church back to many of its basic principles. Kindness, service, humility, and treating all people with dignity and respect.

Sexually mature adults who are attracted to pubescent children are called hebephiles. They are not gay. They would choose a 13 year old over a 23 year old any day.

Ok so you are saying the hebephile cannot be divided into homo and Hetero?

Some apostolate you have.

First redefine marriage. Now redefine homosexual. You don't like it, you change the meaning.

What a joke- go to a leather bar and tell me it is "normal."

Correct. Just like pedophiles don't care if it's a boy or a girl.
