Laceface 2,964 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Figures suggest the Republic of Ireland has voted to legalise same-s-x marriage in a historic referendum. More than 3.2m people were asked whether they wanted to amend the country's constitution to allow gay and lesbian couples to marry. Government ministers have said they believe it will pass, while prominent "no" campaigners have conceded defeat. Counting started at 09:00 BST on Saturday morning. An "unusually high" turnout has been reported. A final result is expected late afternoon on Saturday. If the change is approved, the Republic of Ireland would become the first country to legalise same-s-x marriage through a popular vote. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-32856232 Update: It's been declared a Yes vote! Congratulations rep. of Ireland Despite a No campaign from certain members of the church, it's a 70% yes outcome. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
