Simple but so powerful.
It’s not hyperbole to suggest that the result of Ireland’s referendum on marriage equality has changed the country forever.
In this writers opinion, the jubilant scenes and positive vibes that were experienced in Dublin Castle and all around the country will take a long time to replicate.
Ireland has become an example for the world to follow now – in terms of equality, cultural progression and human rights – and here’s hoping that this drastic change helps contribute to an improved Ireland.
Panti Bliss has become one of the most important figures in Irish society over the last few years and this tweet – along with some of the replies that follow – perfectly sum up just what a Yes vote means.
Forget all the debates, campaigns and shouting matches because ultimately it’s so simple.
