  2. What i never understood was the whole children thing like anyone can be a shitty parent it's really not gonna make a difference if they're the same gender

  4. Hey, Spain over here, we have same sex marriage since 2005, no families destroyed and everything goes fine until now, how is armaggedon going over there on the island?
    Kisses.

  5. Every time someone talks about two same-sex parents not being able to raise their kid properly I get so angry. Not even for myself, and my community, but for all of the single parents out there who's spouse has died or isn't in the picture. Also, every child of a same-sex couple will be lived, because they are wanted. The amount of " accidents" that happen, leaving couples pregnant unprepared for parenthood, is a bigger threat to the lives of children than same-sex marriage is. I'm so glad that when I am older I will be able to marry someone and be happy in that relationship. The only reason a child might have trouble as the child of a same-sex couple is if that kid got bullied for it, and that is not the fault of the couple, that is the fault of the bigots and people in the world are refusing to understand.

  8. I've only stumbled upon this video now and I have to say fair play to Riyadh. I agree with what he said here and the other guy he's talking to is making out that Ireland is a homophobic country. Thank God Ireland voted YES. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and I respect that. WELL DONE RIYADH ?

  10. I grew up without a father does that make me less of a person? it does as far as the No person thinks. I am so proud to be Irish and that Ireland voted yes to equality.

  11. (Ultimately,) When is passion for Love or Happiness (money, sex, etc.), not always fueled by our choice (as Hope) 1st for purpose?
    Selflessly,
    Ps. The ultimate empirically valid human causality of Love (3in1 code/pattern) example is that Hope always exists as a perfectly infinite choice, whether we choose to do or not do. Therefore, Love is a choice of free will that is built on blind trust as Hope and reciprocally makes a selfless circle to always inevitably cause Happiness as inner peace.

  13. Ben Conroy is a member of the Iona Istitute, which is an organisation full of oddballs. The Iona Institute are extreme Catholics that care little for the sexual abuse endured in Ireland. Dangerous fundamentalists that should be consigned to the trash can of history.

  14. It's such a privileged argument to threaten to leave the country.

    The no side thinks good riddance and those too vulnerable to travel are burdened by discrimination.

  16. Being good parents for children, that are not related to the sexuality of their parents. Bad parents are always bad, some people just don’t know how be a proper parents. U need to know how to be good parents not just because u are straight so u can be. It’s absolutely worse to grow in a shitty drugs straight family than a well educated gay family.

    Therefore It’s not about sexuality, it’s all about the love, education, patient to raise a good child.

  27. I hate the whole “1 mother 1 father” crap, it’s not representative of modern society, many people grow up in single parent households and they’re fine, voting “no” to same sex marriage/preventing them from adopting or fostering children is closing the door on thousands of kids who need a home, if two parents are loving and want the best for the child, I don’t see how having two dads or two mums could hurt! Better than having nobody at all

  31. This is so dumb even tho it doesn’t even affect you this is so dumb it’s unfair for gay people people are so judge mental and it’s horrible

  32. For the Christians saying that gay people can’t have children and they shouldn’t be a thing well last time i checked its straight people who are bringing un needed children into the world the world is to overpopulated and there are over 150 million orphans in the world

  34. People are not realizing that Feminism,and LGBT are two sides of same coin. And also either Feminists or Gay people don't understand they are simply used for political goals. There has been lot of money spent to promote LGBT worldwide. It is an Agenda. But what is the goal of this agenda? To destroy basic cell of society(Traditional Family) and demoralize young people. You can notice, that traditional Family (Father, Mother and children) is systematically attacked. Specially Irish government (not only last one) and mainstream media are pushing this Agenda. Irish social policy is literally set to create broken families. It is lovely idea to helping single mothers but to get everything for Free is not the way to go. This policy is just manufacturing even more single mothers! Because "getting everything for Free" is very attractive idea. I don't need to explain how these "single" parents (most of them are single just on the paper) are milking this system for years! On other side working mother or parents has no support from government at all and they have to pay for all that "free stuff" with their taxes.
    Government, NGOs and all mainstream media pushing LGBT agenda into Irish schools! You could already see result of this indoctrination during this referendum. It was heavily supported by young people! Suddenly for young men is cool to be gay! You can see by eye that there more and more gay people around us! That's all fine but question is how far we want to go with it?
    What happens if half of young population will be gays? Than it won't be so easy for Irish people to survive as a Nation. I'm sure Irish government have solution for this problem. They already quietly importing all kind of "doctors" from Africa and Middle East into Ireland. But they are also smart about it. They distribute them evenly across all Ireland so Irish people won't realise quick enough what's going on.
    You might say few refugees is Grand. It might be OK now but in decade or two it will be issue even for Ireland. We don't need to travel far to see the future. Just see some cities in UK! There is lot of areas where English people are already became minority! Everybody can see that African families have lot of kids! Way more than Irish families have. Than will be just matter of time when Irish population becomes minority in Ireland or even worse it will be replaced. But nobody seems to worry about it 🙁 .

  38. At pre-poll surveying it was estimated that about 80% of the electorate would vote against.  When it came to polling day, 37% voted for SSM, 23% against SSM, 40% didn't vote at all and what is known about that 40% is that they were potentially "NO" ballots.  Now I know that the doctrine is that if you don't vote then you can't complain. Why  did so many abstain from voting when everybody felt so strongly against? Ireland's great enemy is COMPLACENCY.   Something that has to be said for LGBT is that they are very well regementated and organised and they know their mission and there is no room for complacency towards them. Whole Governments appear to be groveling and cowaring before them and I imagine that even the Judicary are terrified of them.   In my view, they are the world's most DANGEROUS political organisation and everybody, gay or not gay, does very well indeed to steer right clear of them altogether ——- VERY DANGEROUS.

  46. A family is a like a boat. A father is the rudder the direction and a mother is the sail the power. Take out the mother and the boat goes nowhere. Take out the father and the boat goes off path. Add two rudders and no sails or add another sail and take out the rudder and the boat goes nowhere fast.

    I go for the No guy

  47. I'm sure that this programme was too short to hear each one's arguments, objectively. They were cutiing each other while talking. Much as I appreciate Ryad & his vlogs. I disagree with him over this point spiritually, morally, psychologically & emotionally. The choice belongs to the children if we genuinely want their welfare. But since they are too young to decide, the state should decide, & wisely so! I am not against same sex marriage. But certainly against same sex parents!

  48. I hate how the no side keep making it about children, what about single parents, people who have lost their parents and people who can’t and simply don’t want children. My parents aren’t married but are still together but according to the no side you can only have children if you’re married like this is the 21st century ??

  49. I don’t get how there was even a referendum! As a gay 19 year old who doesn’t want to get married anyway. I think that it’s definitely treating them as second class. My life would have been better if it was just my mum, because of years and years of physical abuse! Marriage is something people look forward to! It’s promising to always have your back and be by your side. It’s got that deep emotional connection that we are all taught to hope for. Stay strong guys, times are changing xx
