Good News from Ireland!

I'm still planning to write my second response to the UK election, hopefully before Planck starts on Monday.  But before I do, I had to note the fantastic result from Ireland, which has become the first country ever to legalise gay marriage by popular vote.  And not by a small margin, either; over 60% voted for equality.  It's a wonderful result, and a sign of the changing times.  Congratulations to all who campaigned on the right side!
