YES

[ailbhe]

I can't actually articulate how I feel about the Yes vote in Ireland. I spent the day of the vote crying and watching Twitter. I hardly slept the night before the count. I spent the day of the count crying and watching Twitter. Then I made rainbow bunting with the children and danced.

But there's more complicated things in there under the relief and joy. More complicated, less pleasant things. About marriage, and societal acceptance of non-straight persons, and all manner of things. I'm pretty bitter.

Yup yup yup. 1.2 million times yes on all of that. I'm still in so happy we did it mode but I know there's a lot to be done yet. I'm mostly avoiding it for the moment because happy is nice.

Yes. Happiness but also... other stuff.
