I am saying that a substantial majority of Northern Catholics would vote No in any Gay marriage referendum
I think you'd be very surprised.

Yep.

Hardly surprising the vote is Yes in an Ireland that is lurching towards moral bankruptcy,where anything goes,GAA players taunt their opponents about deceased relatives etc.

It will not affect me in any way shape or form thankfully,it will never happen in my part of the island.

Did you ever think that one large aspect of taunting opponents might actually be removed by today's vote?

That's what I've been saying. He has more in common with the likes of that boy

Bryson is right for once.The referendum result will make Protestant resistance in the North to a United Ireland even more stronger and will also reduce its appeal to many sincere Catholics.With the SDLP and SF vote in decline,never has the time been more opportune for a unionist party to reach out to Northern Catholics,and cement partition for all time.

The Prince of Wales showed more respect to the Catholic Church and faith in Ireland this week than the average 26 county citizen does.

He doesn't need a parody account, it wouldn't be as funny

Does Bryson realise that same sex marriage is allowed by law in the rest of the union that he so adores?

When Tony Fearon and Jamie Bryson are lecturing me and my country on our morals, I know all is well with the world.

It is a beautiful day here and my wee man just won a Gaelic football match for the first time. Life is good. My best wishes to GaaBoarders everywhere.

Well, at least we know which way you'll vote if there's ever a referendum on a United Ireland, Uncle Tom.

A United Ireland with corrupt politicians,moral economic and spiritual bankruptcy,atheistic,where basic rights like water and health are chargeable? No thanks.
