Hurray! Ireland votes 'Yes' to same-sex marriage
Counting is ongoing, but reportedly both the 'Yes' and 'No' sides in the Irish debate are now declaring the pro-equality side has won the referendum in Ireland to legalize same-sex marriage in the country.
What a great result! A great day for equality and inclusion in this world! Those who despair at the hatred and lack of understanding in the world can look to this result and take comfort, I say.
For more news on this, check out the BBC website story above or the CBC's coverage.
******UPDATE******
The full results are mostly in and can be viewed here on Elections Ireland's website. The Yes side has over 62% support!
