St. Valentine's Day romance: 10 surprising facts about the Irish and sex

Sounds like the origin of the old "patrick Fitzgerald and vice versa" jokes.

This article is ridiculously inaccurate when it comes to the issue of so-called “Gay Marriage”. According to surviving records there was NO "Same-Sex Marriage" in pre or early Christian Ireland, and the Catholic Church (Roman and Celtic) did NOT bless homosexual unions at ANY time in its recorded history. To argue that there was in early Christian Ireland flies in the face of not just the ancient (Irish) Brehon Laws but also the critically important writings of influential Christian leaders such as Augustine of Hippo (who proclaimed marriage (between Man and Woman under God) to be a key sacrament of the Catholic Church), and also of the New Testament itself which openly condemns homosexual relations (along with all sexual immorality). To rely solely upon the controversial and allegedly severely flawed books “Christianity, Social Tolerance, and Homosexuality” (1980) and “Same-Sex Unions in Premodern Europe” (1994) by John Boswell, himself a noted homosexual academic who clearly had a barrow to push, is academically unsound and extremely unwise, and severely undermines the credibility of the article and its author.

Gay Propaganda. Sexual Equality in Ireland is probalbly why then English conquered Ireland.

More garbage from "Irish Central Staff Writers". Why not write on something interesting, such as "10 ways to produce online drivel, 24/7/365". Éamonn, Dublin.

"Pre-Christian Irish attitudes to sex were decidedly more conservative than in recent times, where Cupid was saddled with a chastity belt by an outwardly pious nation." As usual, this lead sentence and headline completely contradicts the content of the article. This site is going to single handedly destroy the Irish people's reputation for being a well-educated, literate population.
