A referendum is not the way to go when it comes to gay rights or minority issues | Comment is free | The Guardian
"Win or lose, however, it is a dangerous practice and can set a precedent for other nations where public opinion might not be so enlightened or tolerant".
Enlightened or tolerant? We shall see!
'Mon Ireland!!

Elderly lady on the bus to work on phone:
"I've nothing against the Yes but I think I'll be voting No. Yeah, I heard, a former president shouldn't be getting involved."

In the last week I've had an old man throw a bible at me, been told I should be shot ( a bullet between the eyes), hit by rocks, and just a whole lot more general abuse.

I'm finally starting to feel positive about today.
Even if it's defeated, it doesn't feel like "The Queers" against everyone else anymore.

You Thumped people are pretty alright.

Fair play to you for putting up with that bullshit. Fingers crossed it's all worth it.

I made a sarcastic #hometovote related tweet bright and early this morning and when I landed into work my colleague told me that her friend (who doesn't know me from Adam) had sent her a screengrab of it via Whatsapp.

who threw rocks?

It was in O'Malley park (salt hill) in Limerick. There's was a big crowd at one point. They were pretty young, oldest around 25 I think.
The settled travellers there were almost all on the YES side

On the subject of parents, I think my mum is leaning yes, my dad is leaning towards not voting, annoyed over posters being ripped down (that never seemed like a good idea, thanks saps) and I'm not going to push him on it because no vote is better than a no vote.

Turns out my dad has actually beaten me to the polling station and voted yes.

what was the quote

"I'm heading #hometovote. It's been a long march of freedom from Stoneybatter to Swords. Sometimes it's hard to be sanctimonious."

My social media circle is obviously gonna be skewed, but I am feeling really positive now it's all started. Most exciting vote ever. Imagine town tomorrow night if we get this.
