This Friday the Irish look set to
vote in favor of legalizing gay marriage. If they do, they’ll be casting
off the mantle of oppressive and suffocating religious doctrine.
Marriage
for same-sex couples is legally recognized in 17 countries across the
globe, as well as a number of U.S. states. On May 22, the Irish
electorate will be asked to make world history: becoming the first
country, ever, to pass a referendum where citizens democratically decide
to guarantee same-sex marriage in its constitution.http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/05/18/irish-catholics-could-change-history-by-voting-for-marriage-equality-this-week.html
