Gay Equality in Ireland

Yesterday the people of Ireland voted in favor of marriage equality and legalized same-sex marriage across the country.

This is great news. When I was a teen my gay sibling took such grief from our parents and his classmates that he attempted suicide. He went through electroshock in attempts to accommodate our parents and society's expectations at 16 years old. When it proved to be unsuccessful our parents kicked him out of the house and told him to never return. I remember clearly the hateful words used to belittle him in pejorative tones. I never thought the world could change so much in 50 years.
