You are being pedantic Is Mise.
You know I meant the majority of Irish people who actually voted.
Obviously the rest of the population couldn't give a damn either way, if they didn't bother voting at all.
A great victory for human rights though, whichever way you look at it.

Suse,

I know nothing of the sort and I am a fully paid up member of The Ancient Order of Pedants.

I can well believe that Is Mise! :)

Suseonline, defined marriage in this vague term, "Marriage is a legal joining of two people who love each other".

It does not define her use of the term love as we all should love and care for each other, does that then define we are all married. There is no exclusion clause and no life long commitment. What is the emphasis on the word joining? does it mean a sexual union? What purpose does the State have in recording the unproductive sexual union of two persons of the same gender? This will allow the State to examine all persons of the same gender both receiving welfare, especially if they love each other as your definition describes.

Suse - this is you
