I'm not gay. I'm not Irish.

Ok... I'm half Irish.

Ok... I'm gay(happy) right now.

What I am however, is proud, elated, and a huge fan of equal rights for all. This pleases me today.

Same applies to me and me partner. After all the catholic scandals there, after being told how conservative and catholic Ireland is, and learning of this vote, she turned to me and said, wow. Why isn't Murrica as civilized as the Irish? (She is Japanese)

Tell them the more people who have rights the harder it is for the government to take them away.
