        And neither of those things were issues during the campaign- only raised by international commentators. We grew up years ago.

        Appreciate it may be naive, but think it might be more about the world currently needing a poster child for openness and inclusion

        Because homosexuals have difficulty being successful and "out" in politics. It is significant.

        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.

        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.

        We still have a way to go in separating church and State but we're getting there.

        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
