Gay Couples Awake to New Ireland

            Within the past week Ireland was the first country to allow gay marriage after they had a voting poll and 62% of the votes were for gay marriage. The Justice Department plans to draft a marriage bill this week which will allow couples be decide if they want to be "husband and wife" or "spouses of each other". The bill will take a few months so the first marriages will not be able to take place until early fall but i do not think that is a big deal for couples that plan on getting married. Also i think this is a big step in legalizing gay marriage other places because usually it is a chain reaction with things like this.
