It's been marvelous to see Ireland, a country that's 87% Catholic,
approve gay marriage by public vote. That's tellin' em! I would love to
be a fly on the wall in the Vatican -- or hell, even a fly on the wall
of St. Patrick's Cathedral in NYC -- to hear the gnashing of teeth up
close and personal.
The Roman Catholic church fought this day with their usual psychopathic intensity but it was all for naught. Hahaha. That's the second best thing about this. (The first is that gay men and lesbians can marry in Ireland, of course.)
My favorite rundown was provided by Grania Spingies at Jerry Coyne's blog. Go read it if you want some joy.
Ireland, you did well. Very very well. I loved everything about the campaign and it was great to have Panti Bliss sprinkled on top. What a grand day this is.
(Let's laugh one more time at the Vatican: hahahahahahaha. Fun!)
