Ireland Votes ‘Yes’ to Same-Sex Marriage
愛爾蘭公投同性婚姻合法
A referendum was held in the Republic of Ireland this weekend on the subject of same-sex marriage. Over 62% voted in favour of changing the constitution and allowing same-sex marriage. Ireland will be the first country in the world to legalise same-sex marriage by popular vote. Over 60% of eligible voters turned out to say ‘yes’ or ‘no’ to same sex-marriage. While no church in Ireland will be required to perform a same-sex marriage ceremony, parliament expects to pass the same-sex marriage bill for civil ceremonies by next fall.
這周末，愛爾蘭共和國就同性婚姻進行了公投。有超過62%的選民同意修改憲法，允許同性婚姻。愛爾蘭也將成為全球首個通過公投允許同性婚姻的國家。超過60%的合法選民參加了這次投票活動。愛爾蘭還沒有要求應該在哪所教堂舉辦同性婚禮，議會希望在明年秋天之前通過民間儀式舉辦同性婚禮的法案。
