Yesterday was a very historical day for Ireland. We have become the first country ever to have gay marriage legalised due to popular vote. For many it seemed as though this day would never come but it has and it makes me so proud to be Irish! Finally we have moved on from our old fashioned ways and have made a huge step into the future. I hope this referendum will encourage other countries to make their way towards a world where everyone is treated equally.
10 years ago we could have never dreamed that this would happen. Not so long ago being homosexual was illegal. This is a milestone for Ireland. We have caught the worlds eye and proved to everyone that we believe in equality for all. I well up with happiness now thinking about all those couples who have waited so long to finally give their relationship legal standing in society. Now they finally have the chance.
Ireland has really come a long way. This is history in the making. In generations to come people will look back on this and wonder why we had to vote on this in the first place. Why did we make such a fuss over it, the same as with racial issues years before. Being homosexual will just be another part of life accepted by all and that's the way it should be!
