It happened last night. The moment It became clear that the world was truly insane. I was watching a news report about the upcoming Gay Marriage Referendum in Ireland. Funny how they get an official referendum and we just got a " debate ". Seeing people pushing the point that two people of the same sex should be able to raise children makes me sick, but thats not what flipped me. The moment occured when a Gay activist appeared masked, not in a balaclava, but in a plastic carrier bag with holes cut out for his eyes and mouth. He also sported a big bright red hat. What a sight. It was at this moment I shook my head and went to bed.
Of course appearing masked added to the image of him being under threat. A silly trick in a country that has seen the IRA in balaclavas. I doubt his life was under threat. The news reporter said that the YES vote may win as people opposed to the bill maybe shamed into staying at home, as they are deemed negative, and not progressive. If these people cannot be counted on turn out to say NO, then we have reached a sad state.
