Marriage Equality in Ireland: The Time Has Finally Come!

Over the years there have been a good sum of posts that have dealt with the issue of marriage equality, human rights and, even, love in general. Usually, these posts have been regarding issues which have been away from home. Typically, they have been concerning "Top Stories" in the US or UK but seldom have they been on our own doorstep, or rather, inside our own homes. On Friday, May 22nd, 2015, the Irish people will take to the polling stations across the country to make two decisions, firstly, do they believe that our President should be allowed to be as young as 21 years old (an issue which I don't really feel that strongly about but do have an opinion) and secondly, whether marriage is something that should be offered to each and all equally, regardless of sexuality, sex or gender (an issue where opinion is unimportant but decision is crucial). Here, we will be looking at the latter.
