A more realistic approach from ‘Yes’ side would be to their benefit

In practice there is far more going on here than the changing of our Constitution writes Alison O’Connor

WHEN I hear the ‘Yes’ side say the definition of marriage will not be changed in the upcoming referendum it strikes me as daft. It’s a bit like saying that you’ve had the builders in and doubled the size of your house, but it is in essence the same structure.

Technically, yes, I see how the argument is correct in terms of marriage itself remaining unchanged, and if the referendum passes what it means is more combinations of couples can avail of that unchanged institution.
