Irish Vote in favour of Gay Marriage came as no surprise especially as the Media gave the NO vote very little coverage. I do not agree with Gay Marriage but the Irish were at least given a vote. I do not really care what happens in the Irish Republic BUT only 37.5% of the Total Population voted Yes, Not quite the success The Gays and secularist would have hoped for and I expect this deficit will cause a lot of animosity between Country and City
Gay marriage is not about equality as it does not give equality to those disgusting Bisexual or religions and other groups who do not believe in Monogamy. Also Civil Partnership is not available to normal sex people
Thankfully Gay Marriage is just a side show and does not affect the way we are governed and those of us who believe in Traditional Marriage will always believe that, teaching our children and grandchildren in its belief. Yet what concerns me is that Gay Activists have disproportionate influence in TV, Film, Entertainment, Media and now in Parliament. The latter continually bleats on about how it should be representative of the population they were elected for, well they have not achieved that with women and ethnic minorities but with Gays who are just 1.5% of the population they have gone over the top. If their wishes were to be applied their would be 10 Gay MP's yet we have 32? Maybe time has come for those wishing to become MP's be forced not use their sexual preference to gain votes
The problem when you change laws there are some unknown consequences below is a piece taken from the government web site on what constitutes a divorce
Adultery
February 2015
Your husband or wife had sex with someone else of the opposite sex, and you can no longer bear to live with them.
You can’t give adultery as a reason if you lived with your husband or wife for 6 months after you found out about it.
So if you can hide your infidelity for 6 months you are OK? If you have sex with someone of the same sex outside of your marriage you do not commit adultery, that is quite an effect on Gays
there is no provision for divorce on the
grounds of non-consummation of a gay
marriage.
That being the case Consummation for same
sex couples is no longer part of Marriage why
cannot same sex family members not marry?

Elderly sisters lose ECHR appeal against inheritance tax
29 APR 2008
Two elderly unmarried sisters who appealed against a ruling by the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) that they should be liable for inheritance tax when the first of them dies have lost their appeal.
Joyce Burden, 89, and her sister Sybil, 82, of Marlborough, Wiltshire, have lived together for their entire lives and cared for four relatives. They inherited the house they currently share from their father, and have lived there for the last 30 years.
They have made wills expressing their intention that the first of them to die will leave her entire estate to the other sister. However, as matters stood under UK law, on the first death there would be an inheritance tax liability equating to 40% of the value of that sister's share of jointly-owned and other property exceeding £312,000 for the 2008/2009 tax year.
If they were married or able to enter into a civil partnership, there would have been an exemption to paying any inheritance tax on the first death. However, siblings are prevented by law from entering into a civil partnership, and so the surviving sister would have been faced a heavy inheritance bill. The sisters had complained to the ECHR that this effectively amounted to discrimination.
