Hurray! Ireland votes 'Yes' to same-sex marriage


Counting is ongoing, but reportedly both the 'Yes' and 'No' sides in the Irish debate are now declaring the pro-equality side has won the referendum in Ireland to legalize same-sex marriage in the country. 

What a great result!   A great day for equality and inclusion in this world!   Those who despair at the hatred and lack of understanding in the world can look to this result and take comfort, I say.

For more news on this, check out the BBC website story above or the CBC's coverage.

******UPDATE******

The full results are mostly in and can be viewed here on Elections Ireland's website.  The Yes side has over 62% support!
