Wow for the first time in God knows how long the New York Times has left the race issue alone hip hip hooray its about time.But they still have this morbid leftist stance as always including this morning.
This morning the NYT is trying to make a big deal on Ireland's vote to make same sex marriage legal in their country.Entitled "The Victory for Same-Sex Marriage in Ireland."
It begins "Months ago, it seemed to some like a long shot that love, common sense and justice would prevail as voters in Ireland began contemplating whether same-sex couples should be allowed to marry under their Constitution. On Friday, love didn’t just prevail across Irish cities and villages. It triumphed.By becoming the first nation to approve same-sex marriage by popular vote, Ireland gave a powerful boost to the quest for gay equality, a movement that has achieved a string of victories around the world over the past decade but remains a distant goal in many countries where intolerant attitudes remain entrenched.In a deeply Catholic nation that decriminalized homosexuality in 1993 and still bans abortion under most circumstances, proponents of same-sex marriage appeared to face an uphill battle when they set out to convince voters that the Constitution should give people the right to marry “without distinction as to their sex.”
Love,common sense and justice ok a grotesque so called love style never meant to be and saying its common sense defies common sense and no soical justice according to the warped NYT.
It rambles on "Leaders of the victorious Yes campaign appealed to voters of all ages, generations and backgrounds by keeping their message simple. They billed marriage as a fundamental right that should be available to all people in love. They produced compelling short videos that asked straight Irish citizens in a nation of close-knit families to do right by their gay relatives.
The Yes victory was resounding. With more than 60 percent of eligible voters casting ballots, a phenomenal turnout, the referendum was approved by roughly two to one.
The opposition, aided by some Catholic bishops who campaigned for No votes, peddled the hollow arguments that have same-sex marriage opponents around the world on a losing streak. They warned that legalizing same-sex marriage would undermine unions between a man and a woman and argued that marriage has an inherently reproductive purpose.
In a statement conceding defeat, the Iona Institute, the main opposition group, said it would continue to affirm “the importance of biological ties and of motherhood and fatherhood.” The absurdity of that statement speaks for itself."
No NYT you all are absurd lmao.
It ends with "As soon as the referendum is ratified by Parliament, Ireland will join 19 nations that have legalized same-sex marriage — an honor roll that does not include the United States.
The Irish path to legalizing same-sex marriage was remarkable because advocates have long seen courts and legislative initiatives as easier paths to prevail on an issue that continues to trouble many people on moral and religious grounds. Lawmakers in the United Kingdom approved same-sex marriage in 2013. In the United States, the expanding recognition of marriage rights in 36 states and the District of Columbia has been achieved through lawsuits and legislatures. The Supreme Court is expected to rule next month on a case that could establish a constitutional right to same-sex marriage.
The outcome in Ireland sends an unmistakable signal to politicians and religious leaders around the world who continue to harbor intolerant views against gays and lesbians. It also should offer hope to sexual minorities in Russia, the Arab world and many African nations where intolerance and discriminatory laws remain widespread.The tide is shifting quickly. Even in unlikely places, love and justice will continue to prevail.
Any way the NYT can continue to put this country down they will
