Limerick City bids to host Gay Olympic games 2018 - competes with six other cities for the honor

Mairint -- Why would my soul be at risk because someone else runs a race?

Interesting to see how censorship works at IC. Notice the comments in favour - money, parties, anti-Catholic remarks. Ah sure why not- distribute rainbow condoms all over the city and have the biggest orgy next to Babylon. Great fun! Never mind your souls.

I hope Limerick hosts them. My city hosted the Gay Softball World Series a few years ago & let me tell you, those guys know how to spend money! It was a huge success!

Why shouldn't Limerick host them? They'll make more money than that poorly attend Catholic Eucharistic Congress and people will actually pay. I am certain they will throw more enjoyable after parties too.

Peterson -- What information do you have about about my lifestyle? We'll get to the rest of your comment after you answer that question.

Limerick city has a horrible reputation, especially for narrow-minded Catholic bigotry (e,g. Ireland's only anti-Semitic Pogrom). This event could improve its international image and add considerably to its municipal coffers.

Greg --- What does God say in the Bible about your "lifestyle" ??

Piper Mac -- That's right. We've moved completely away from out Christian roots. But of course, if you had any Irish roots yourself, you'd know that we were here long before Christians were ever heard of.

gays should able to compete in the REGULAR olympics...that's the reason their fighting for EQUAL RIGHTS....they want to be treated like EVERYONE ELSE....i think this is SILLY...this is different then the special olympics that Eunice Kennedy started years ago. alisa

Can you imagine what the cost of hosting this would be?? The country would be better served getting out of the debt they are in rather than digging the hole deeper!! Olympics are for athletes irrespective of there sexual orientation and if there standard is good enough for THE Olympics then who is the Nitwit that raised this rediculous idea? CitizenWhy has a point :)

Once I was funny ,now Im just gay ! I would take serious issue with Shannon Development if they use taxpayers money to support such a charade .

Nicopernicus! Please! Do not tie this (that?) economic opportunity for Limerick to the glen of the facetious. These participants or attendees may purchase Erin's "ghost estates," and wouldn't that be special?

Will the " Olympic Committee" approve the use of the word Olympic? I think the only other group allowed to use the word Olympic is the "Special Olympics" Anyone know the answer?

Smart move, Limerick. A part of the promo perhaps the city should sponsor a Gay Limerick Limerick writing contest. Some of the results would probably be hilarious.

it fits - given ould erin go braless
