Why are all those Nordies so against gay rights (which are human rights)?

In Ireland's marriage referendum 4 years ago, 734,300 people voted against it. That's almost 38% of voters.

Like I said before, whether in the north or south, not everyone is in favour of gay rights/marriage.

You just can't mention it in public or you would get lynched by the right on crowd and lose your job

It's a bit like race hate used to be

How does having a a Union Jack on your folder make you sectarian?

Are you serious? Kids in England don't exactly plaster their schoolbooks in Union Jacks, paint their kerbstones red white and blue, or parade around the place to assert how British they are. NI prods make a point of being more British than the British themselves.

So it didn't pass by 100%. Thanks for letting us know.

Sounds like a better world to live in than the one where you could lose your job (or in the case of countries like Iran, your life) for being gay.

So would kids in Northern Ireland having an Ireland flag on their folder make them sectarian?

Read Rossfan's post again. That's what I was replying to.

I see.

Of course, it seems like every Tam Dick and Harry in the whole country is in favour of gay rights and abortion. Which is complete bollix.

What's your issue with gay people having equal rights Benny???

I didn't say I have an issue. It's the impression that SF give on it though. That the whole country is for it and the only ones against it is a dozen or so DUP members, which is completely untrue. There are plenty against it, but you just don't hear them speak out about it.

Have any prominent SF members spoke out against marriage equality etc in the past?

I'm not sure, but all SF party members had to tow the line on abortion. Which was why Francie Brolly (could have been more) left the party.

Not to my knowledge but I don't think they were always as pro LGBT rights as they are now

Populist bandwagon, and all that.

Isn't it sad that a Party gets criticised for supporting equal human rights for all humans?

[MoChara]

If it's any consolation to yous I think all the dissident groups are pro-gay rights

I don't recall them campaigning for gay rights 20 years ago.

The world has moved on, well most of the world. There are still a few backward fools who think that obscure passages in an ancient much edited book should guide them instead. But like all slow learners they'll eventually get it.

Isn't it sad that the term 'human rights' is bandied to score points on a discussion board?
