Ireland becomes first country to legalize gay marriage via pop vote

[Johnny Cupcakes]

There are a lot of people that say that they want the government out of marriage now. This isn't me trying to be a smartass,it's genuine curiosity: is that a view that many people have held in the past or is it just a thing that people are saying because they're just that against gay marriage? I had never even heard the suggestion until it became clear that all gays would soon have the right to marry.
