So, the hot topic of discussion in the political world has been the issue of same-sex marriage. Should it be recognised? Who should decide whether to recognise it? What form should it take? And many more questions.
In Ireland, a referendum was conducted as the issue there was a constitutional one, requiring the vote of the people to change the definition. In the US, the Supreme Court decided by a majority of 1, that it was unconstitutional to limit marriage to two people, namely 1 man and 1 woman.
