re: #108 HappyWarrior

Ireland seems to be bucking a lot of the rightward turns in society too. Their Taoiseach is not only the son of an immigrant but openly gay as well. As an American of Irish descent who also lived in Ireland one summer, I’m proud. The Irish people have always been a kind hearted people but Amendment 8 was a stain.

remember that they did not even get divorce until 1996.

an Irish friend was fortunate that he had married a British citizen, or the Irish authorities would never have recognized his divorce and allowed him to remarry
