Marriage referendum is a circus

According to Enda Kenny, a yes vote for same sex marriage in the referendum will be the making of us as a nation. The vote is due in a little over three weeks, writes Paul Mills.

If that statement is not hyperbole, nothing is. Yes, the issue is very important for a lot of people, for those directly affected and those close to them. However, it will do nothing to define us as a nation.

Some other nations in Europe and elsewhere do not permit same-sex marriage, yet we do not hear that they are diminished as a nation as a result.
