Treating people as outcasts over sexual orientation not acceptable

Evert Bopp’s letter (Irish Examiner, March 24) is mischievous in so far as it seeks to convey the impression that a ‘Yes’ vote in the Marriage Equality Referendum will diminish the status in the Constitution of marriage between a man and a woman.

It will do nothing of the sort.

Bopp’s scare-mongering might be acceptable had he not set himself up as a victim of people whose ideas he regard as less virtuous than his own. Hypocrisy and humbug did I ever offend thee? We are all flawed.
