I heard him recently on Lyric FM (Gaybo rather than the posh firestarter) and it actually took me a moment to realise it wasn't Oliver Callan he's become such a parody of himself. Daycent choons all the same.

lads
sports and social committee at work are holding a fundraiser night for a yes vote.
is there a way to point out that this is not rly cool without it being a dick move. obv I'm voting yes myself.

curious on this one, deems. what was your issue with it?
― bureau belfast model (LocalGarda), Wednesday, 6 May 2015 12:27 (nine years ago) link
was it appropriate/fair for a work event to take a stance kind of thing?
had two people on my team raise it, one from the above POV and the other, imo, from a POV of a no voter that had yknow actual issues with specifically a yes campaign in the work environment
I raised it informally with a member of the committee, she kinda et me, which annoyed me but i wasn't carrying a torch for pushing it or anything so I left it at that, I was told to ask kinda thing.
senior management pulled the event fwiw

i guess it depends how attached to the office and company the sports/social team is. i wasn't sure of that until your clarification there.
interested in the referendum generally, do any of you know any no voters? my dad said he was voting no, my mum is voting yes. dad said "when i tell people they think i've grown horns". i tried to gently offer some persuasive arguments, he mostly was reasonable about it but i assume some baseline homophobia is his motivation.
― bureau belfast model (LocalGarda), Wednesday, 6 May 2015 12:43 (nine years ago) link
I know of one confirmed and he had horns already
I heard one person express that they were considering it because she wasn't sure, having looked at it, that it wasn't anything more than a sop
her four adult kids went fuckin nuts at her, like I was a bit embarrassed for them.
other than that, its all yes, but hey I wouldn't be much for mixing it 'no' circles. one gay fella I knkw said he might vote no cos he's against marriage and the conformity aspect, but he's a law unto himself the same man.
― thoughts you made second posts about (darraghmac), Wednesday, 6 May 2015 12:49 (nine years ago) link
my mum is voting yes but still seemed to believe it was only a sop, as you put it.
― bureau belfast model (LocalGarda), Wednesday, 6 May 2015 12:54 (nine years ago) link
he mostly was reasonable about it but i assume some baseline homophobia is his motivation.
Out of interest, what were his reasonable reasons? Are they based in religious beliefs?
I'd be suprised if anyone in my family was voting No. Even if my gay cousins weren't a consideration, my family just would not think it was their business to say who was and wasn't allowed to get married.
I know a few people who are in the "never voted, never will" camp, which is even worse.

"what happens when the parents get divorced? do the children get divorced too?"

ah his reasons were't reasonable at allreally - there are no reasonable reasons in favour of a "no" imo - i guess i just meant he wasn't attacking people or belligerent, he had some vague thing about distinguishing marriage based on who can biologically have kids, nothing which stood up. don't think he was particularly bothered either way - which is prob why this will be carried. wouldn't surprise me if he didn't actually vote.
― bureau belfast model (LocalGarda), Wednesday, 6 May 2015 22:23 (nine years ago) link
I'm not an advocate of even bringing up the obvious counter arguments, but didja ask him about the straight couple that can't/won't have kids corollary?
kids. such a bizarre thing to fixate on in re a tax arrangement like marriage.
