The
Irish Times published its first gay wedding announcement today:
"
Vivian Cummins and
Erney Breytenbach were married at their holiday home in
Hermanus,
South Africa, by the
Reverend Pieter Oberholzer, on December 12th. As they spend every alternate Christmas there, they decided to avail of its climate for their big day. The major determining factor, however, was the fact that they could get married in South Africa, which is not possible for them yet, as two men, in
Ireland."
The two men, both architects, run a highly successful company in
County Kildare.

It is ashame that so much descrimination still exists thanks to the Christians now preaching hate for this group around the world. I hope people will in time understand this is not a choice it just happens even with the other animals on this earth.
