5 reasons to vote NO

Jump to newest

There’s a referendum coming up, just in case you didn’t know. The referendum concerns two issues:

Should the age of a Presidential Candidate be lowered from 35 to 21 years of age and;

Should marriage be extended equally to all persons regardless of sex.

The second one, as you would imagine, is gathering more interest. What with it concerning all people having equal rights and all. Here are 5 reasons you should vote No on number 2, maybe even number 1.

1.You like things just the way they are: Change, why would you change anything at all? You like things the way they are. Everything in its place. Change is scary after all. The fact is that if this passes and we as a country vote Yes then Ireland will slip off the shelf and plunge into the Atlantic…FACT!

2.Standards of Weddings: If we allow everyone to have equal rights and marry who they love then the fact is that the LGBT community will probably set the standard for Weddings impossibly high. There will be colours and themes that the average Irish man could never dream of or indeed live up to. Look at Panti Bliss for example. That chick knows how to throw a party. Imagine that. Shindigs like the country has never seen before.

3.Increase in Tourism: Ireland voting No in this referendum will send a clear signal to the world that we are still that country which likes to segregate people, push people to the fringes of society and deny equality to all. We could see an increase in visitors from groups such as the Neo-Nazis, the KKK and perhaps even The Westboro Baptist Church.

4.Parenting: Voting yes in this referendum might give LGBT people more power to have, raise, adopt and love children of their very own. Two people of the same sex raising a child couldn’t possibly do a good job of that. Never before in human history have we seen two people of the same sex raising a child. Nope, never. It would be a disaster. Like a Mother helping her Daughter raise her child or a Father giving advice to his Son. Imagine a child having two loving Mothers or two adoring Fathers? Awful stuff altogether.

5.You’re a moron: That’s right. You should definitely vote No if you are a moron. If you believe it is absolutely paramount to deny equality to all people then you should vote no. If you believe that not all people deserve happiness then vote no. If you believe you have the right to interfere in other peoples decisions and who they can marry then vote no.

Ireland is on the verge of change right now. We have some very draconian traditions and laws which quite simply have no place in the modern world. Love is one of those things you don’t choose, it just happens. To live in a country where you are made to feel like a second class citizen because you are denied a basic right afforded to others must be heart breaking and utterly demoralising.

I’ll be voting Yes in this election. My generation and the generations before me still refer to people as straight people, gay people, lesbian people, transgender people and bisexual people. Maybe a yes vote will take us one step closer to my Kids generation just having people. One big group of happy people.

It's not a vote for equality for all people, its a vote for homosexual people to have more rights.

Homosexual people having more rights does not suddenly make the whole world equal.

You're voting yes to reinforce marriage in Irish law.

You're voting yes to weaken equality for all.

You're voting yes because you believe marriage should be a state sanctity.

You're voting yes because you think people who don't believe in marriage don't deserve to adopt a child.

You're voting yes because you think two people saying they are in love is more important than two people being able to provide.

You're voting yes because of the two options the yes seems obvious.

You're voting yes because you're a sheep.

You're voting yes because you think marriage can make people happy.

You're voting yes because you're superior to people who think out the issue and come to a different point of view.

Man + Man = equals Lady + Lady

Maybe if we allowed a younger age limit it would encourage taller than the little annoying bollix that most you voted in to do something positive.

A same sex couple can bring a child up just as good as a heterosexual couple.

I’ll be voting Yes in this election. My generation and the generations before me still refer to people as straight people, gay people, lesbian people, transgender people and bisexual people. Maybe a yes vote will take us one step closer to my Kids generation just having people. One big group of happy people.2 men or 2 ladies are not equal

to a man and woman and never can be equal

Why do you think that?A man and woman can make a baby 2 men or 2 woman cannot

That has to be the most childish thing I've ever read on this site.

A same sex couple can bring a child up just as good as a heterosexual couple.

Will you be voting NO because of that view?Can they have a child like a man and woman.yes or no"

Of course they can't but it doesn't make them less equal does it?

If a woman for some medical reason can't have a baby does it make her less equal to a woman who can have a baby?

"There’s a referendum coming up, just in case you didn’t know. The referendum concerns two issues:

Should the age of a Presidential Candidate be lowered from 35 to 21 years of age and;

Should marriage be extended equally to all persons regardless of sex.

The second one, as you would imagine, is gathering more interest. What with it concerning all people having equal rights and all. Here are 5 reasons you should vote No on number 2, maybe even number 1.

1.You like things just the way they are: Change, why would you change anything at all? You like things the way they are. Everything in its place. Change is scary after all. The fact is that if this passes and we as a country vote Yes then Ireland will slip off the shelf and plunge into the Atlantic…FACT!

2.Standards of Weddings: If we allow everyone to have equal rights and marry who they love then the fact is that the LGBT community will probably set the standard for Weddings impossibly high. There will be colours and themes that the average Irish man could never dream of or indeed live up to. Look at Panti Bliss for example. That chick knows how to throw a party. Imagine that. Shindigs like the country has never seen before.

3.Increase in Tourism: Ireland voting No in this referendum will send a clear signal to the world that we are still that country which likes to segregate people, push people to the fringes of society and deny equality to all. We could see an increase in visitors from groups such as the Neo-Nazis, the KKK and perhaps even The Westboro Baptist Church.

4.Parenting: Voting yes in this referendum might give LGBT people more power to have, raise, adopt and love children of their very own. Two people of the same sex raising a child couldn’t possibly do a good job of that. Never before in human history have we seen two people of the same sex raising a child. Nope, never. It would be a disaster. Like a Mother helping her Daughter raise her child or a Father giving advice to his Son. Imagine a child having two loving Mothers or two adoring Fathers? Awful stuff altogether.

5.You’re a moron: That’s right. You should definitely vote No if you are a moron. If you believe it is absolutely paramount to deny equality to all people then you should vote no. If you believe that not all people deserve happiness then vote no. If you believe you have the right to interfere in other peoples decisions and who they can marry then vote no.

Ireland is on the verge of change right now. We have some very draconian traditions and laws which quite simply have no place in the modern world. Love is one of those things you don’t choose, it just happens. To live in a country where you are made to feel like a second class citizen because you are denied a basic right afforded to others must be heart breaking and utterly demoralising.

I hope this is passed....

Given that most referendums end up being an anti government vote and with close to half the eligible voters either not concerned or not bothering it could be a big ask..

I'm not even sure Ireland is ready for this.... Unfortunately we live in a small minded country where bullying, name calling, racism, begrudgery and homophobia is rife...

A change of attitude is maybe as important as a change of law...

I think you were born in the wrong era,,,your caveman approach to interacting with others is nothing short of appalling to say the least but I guess thats your sole purpose on here,your personality matches your attitude, appalling and shameful.I've yet to witness even a tiny shred of humour from you or you showing any kind of respect towards others.

What has having the ability to have children naturally have to do with this ??? Precisely NOTHING...

Love is love... if you are in love and want to get married... then you should be allowed to.... that is the most undeniably important criteria..... your gender should not matter....
