No they wont relax anything .There is about 5% of the voting population that make the difference .Labour went for the Gay vote Leo then latched on to it .They had the referendum Labour who proposed it thought they would get the benefit they managed to lose 23 seats .The new battle ground is Green Politics the Greens have that vote but next election will only get 3 seats .Irish politics is all about creating issues that can be exploited for votes while making no real change in peoples lives like decent housing ,Healthcare ,Education ,Pensions .Care for Children with Special needs .As long as Gillian and Conor feel their issues are being listened to and they can park their cycle as they take a coffee all is great with the world until Gillian loses her job as a Yoga instructor and Connor gets replaced as a Coffee Jockey by a Brazillian Barrista that works for chump change .
That's utter bollocks to say Labour went for the "gay vote and then Leo latched onto it".
Utter bollocks, I have relatives who were involved in the Marriage Equality Referendum from the get go and years previous to that and it was the LGBTQ people themselves who dragged the politicians along.
But Leo most definitely did not latched onto it.
Labour did however about 10 yrs ago introduce a Civil Unions Bill to the Dáil,but it was voted down.
Again,the MarRef was LGBTQ driven and pushed.
Is was Eamon Gilmore put his support behind the equality vote in the programme for government .Leo who claims to be Gay suddenly discovered it in his 30s Fuck right off its Cunts like him that oppressed the Gay community hiding because it might of affected his career .The Fucking Traitor was afraid of been outed He latched on to the issue .Nobody really gives a fuck what consenting adults do in their lives . My issue with Leo is when he was looking for support as a Councillor or TD or leader of FG he never once said he was Gay and Proud .It was only when there was votes in it he decided to come out .Leaders Lead Cowards Follow .Leo Veradker is the most self serving cunt that ever looked for a vote a self serving Traitor .When the History of the 21st century is written Leo will not come out well a Lowlife self serving scumbag .If the treat from the north ever succeeds in blowing his fucking head off I wont shed a tear in fact Ill throw a fucking party .
As I stated earlier it was Labour who proposed a Civil Union Bill years ago (it was Michael D), but the push for Marriage Equality was lead and done by LGBTQ people for many years.
Varadkar came out in his 30s to the general public ,BUT it was widely known within political circles,media and gay community he was gay.
So you not knowing JohnM seems to have hurt you.
He didnt come out "to get votes". His sexuality was and is never an issue when he goes for election,Im no supporter of his, but to say he "came out"merely for votes is laughable and ridiculous. He never latched onto the issue. His sexuality is a non issue, except for you it seems.
You say "My issue with Leo is when he was looking for support as a Councillor or TD or leader of FG he never once said he was Gay and Proud. You're right he didn't and doesnt, why should anyone? It was only when there was votes in it he decided to come out ." Thats nonsense. What votes was he looking for ? from whom ? If you think that a gay politician automatically gets the gay vote then you are deluded along with your taxi delusions.
It's great to be an armchair warrior
