Huge Ireland vote for gay marriage

BBC

The Republic of Ireland has voted overwhelmingly to legalise same-sex marriage in a historic referendum.

More than 62% voted in favour of amending the country's constitution to allow gay and lesbian couples to marry.

The referendum was held 22 years after homosexual acts were decriminalised in the Republic of Ireland
