Same-sex marriage vote is not just about equality

Correspondent Tom Carew (Irish Examiner, Letters, March 31) rightly said that freedom of expression (or of dissent) is fundamental to an open society.

The experience of Ashers Bakery, Dolce and Gabbana, and Brendan Eich (and the parents whose children are read stories like ‘King and King’, or ‘Dad, Papa and Me’, in school in the US, despite protestations) are indicators of the heavy price this country will pay for political correctness if the same-sex marriage referendum is successful.

We must open our eyes to what it is we are being asked, or rather being pressured, to legalise.
