Interesting to see how it's viewed from afar though

From people who believe we have leprechauns, drink whisky neat for breakfast and have pigs in the parlour!!!

Who cares that he is gay if he can do the job!!!!!
-
Not us.

-
Because homosexuals have difficulty being successful and "out" in politics. It is significant.
-
I agree. It depends on the country. We just don't care about peoples sexuality here.
-
Im glad you feel that way, its awesome that you do and thank you but, if you are not a member of the gay community you really have no idea.
-
I've no idea then. I'm not gay. But I do feel deep joy when others, even those not like me (what!), have equal standing. Happy for Ireland.

Thank you, I wish there were more who feel the way you do than the ones who don't

There'll always be those who can't see past préjudices. I'm choosing every day to listen to those who can. That's where I want my focus.

Good for him! Why do you feel the need to point out his ancestry and sexual preference?
-
Why does it bother you that they did?
-
Because it's click bait. Notice they don't mention conservative.

-
He's "conservative" for Ireland, that's still super far-left
-
It's still click bait. You're smart enough to understand that. It's like candy at the check out line at the supermarket. There's a reason
-
Oh I 100% agree, it's just that they didn't mention conservative because, by US standards he's most certainly liberal, that's what I meant
