Conference hears Ireland could be a role model for gay, lesbian and transgender rights

Nicely put JoePatAl.

certainly fits with the annual St Patrick's Day ghay parading across Eire each year. It might be the Guinness that's causing the switch.

The day they make it compulsory - that's the day I'm outta here! Éamonn, Dublin.

Why? Another attempt by the Lesbain, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex (LGBTI) [and generally existentially confused! (GEC) to engage in a little affectational designer martyredom. Take it up with yer therapists - girls! Most people are too busy paying their mortgages to be distracted by yer ego-centric genital narcissism. Grow up, for God's sake!

The Irish people are being overwhelmed with European vagrants and now LGBT agitators. I will not give in to the thought that the entire Nation has lost its mind ..... but there are always the "fringe" elements the media loves to slobber over.

Well, (katieherk, jacersagain, aloistmartin) it is exactly people like you who are the reason why minorities need protection. The deprecating comments fully illustrate why many sexual minority youngster either commit suicide or are physically harmed. Please, in respect for our countries (US & Eire) do try to remember that it was often discrimination that led our ancestors away from the homeland to the New World and furthermore leads to the strife and violence in The North of our ancestry land. Yes, that is not homophobia but papalphobia which is the cause of the failure to allow justice across all of Ireland. Just think, some member of your family, either immediate or close, is probably one of the people you are making foul comments about at this time. Perhaps due to your anti-attitude they have remained sadly quiet, but nevertheless, someday you will realize that a loved one has been scared by your negativity. Reform now and realize that the land of our people is perhaps about to try to do the correct proper thing for all of its citizens. If nothing else, try to imagine how you would feel about Jim Crow laws and then transpose them to our cousins across the sea with this issue. Perhaps you will then learn to act in the 21st century rather than the 19th and before.

What is "intersex"?

Here we go again.... the minority tries to change society. Why do we bend to these people? What a stupid way to change such a beautiful country and ruin it for those who were travel there often (like me). It disgusts me!!! Who wrote this junk?

Let me get my mathematics right please: 235 people from 42 countries, of whatever size population, works out at an average of 5 people from each of those countries whose population number in millions. And they want the right to behave in the irredeemable way they do to be accepted by the majority? Er… can we talk about a small minority bullying and misleading the majority of people? And expect the noble people of Ireland to lead it??? Sheese!

LGBT`S, Fat Kat Increment minded Union Labor, Protestants, Criminals, and Immigrants, are simply cheaper to Employ, and Exploit, than I.R.A. Fearing Roman Catholics !
