[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This article is a lot more insightful and nuanced then most of the dcum opinions:

http://mobile.nytimes.com/2015/05/23/world/europe/for-one-irish-couple-backing-gay-marriage-is-a-matter-of-family-values.html?_r=0

Some key quotes:
Proponents of same-sex marriage in Ireland have promoted the cause as pro-family, and the video attests to how full acceptance of gay marriage can support an entire family. In a sense, it promoted one traditional Catholic value, the importance of family, against a longstanding Catholic prohibition against homosexuality.
We are Catholics, and we are taught to believe in compassion and love and fairness and inclusion

I'm very Irish-American and very Catholic and [b]my facebook feed has been absolutely blowing up the last few days with happy posts about this vote.[/b][/quote]
