Your media apparatus is as bad as ours. At least you have multiple news outlets, whereas here we just have RTÉ and Virgin Media.

Civil unions are certainly preferable to nothing. And even nothing is preferable to the sodomy laws being reinstated. Which hopefully is unlikely.

I think we'll have to weather some attempts at reinstating sodomy laws, but I'm confident they aren't going to be successful. It's going to be very ugly for a while.

I've never heard of Virgin Media, I guess I should feel lucky. The U.S. has absolutely awful media.

Virgin Media are not as bad as RTÉ. That’s all I can say.

I hope the sodomy laws don’t come back. If they do, I urge gay people in those affected states to buy guns.

Lol they probably already have them, given which states we're talking about. There isn't nearly the appetite to reinstate sodomy laws that there is to get rid of gay marriage. Most gay marriage opponents see it as an infringement of their rights or a risk to their rights, whereas gay sex is seen by these same people as something private that doesn't involve them.

There are obviously Christians who would support it, but my guess would be not even a third of the amount of people who would vote against gay marriage.

That’s good to here. Private sexual behaviours between consenting adults in private should be legal everywhere.
