Ireland's Same-Sex Marriage Referendum

I really don't understand your logic. You're now saying marriage is owned by the church which I couldn't disagree with more. It's not like they'll be marrying in the churches without permission, it'll be state ceremonies. It's every Irish persons' business, we're deciding if we want to allow our government to formally acknowledge gay marriages.

Many other countries have gay marriage as state ceremony. No country has catholic church approved gay marriage. That's not what we're seeking we seeking state marriage. Why don't we have that you ask? As our constitution was initially dictated by church influence.

I think you really misunderstood the idea.

Ireland's Same-Sex Marriage Referendum

Yep it's actually happening. I've been making sure everyone I know is going out to vote yes. I'm not gay myself but have plenty friends who are believe in trying to promote and foster equality despite how difficult that can often be. It's a fantastic step forward away from the dogmatic traditions the catholic church imposed in the country decades ago which we are still unfortunately living with.

However, there are people actively vying for a 'no' and I won't have any qualms about saying it's disgusting. Sure people are entitled to their opinions and a lot of the time these are based on what they are told time and time again and it is very difficult for these people to be told otherwise. However there are two key points to be made:

1. Your opinion should never get to detrimentally hurt another's life for no reason other than you disagree.
2. The 'no' campaign is fueling its fire with misinformation.



The referendum has nothing to do with children. Same sex couples can already adopt and surrogacy is legal. This referendum changes neither and bigots claiming it does to get bigger bigots to vote is horrifying. Not to mention the countless arguments against the 'nuclear' family being the be all and end all.

Gay, straight, religious or not your opinion is your own and you should not be allowed to use to prohibit others from the same rights you have.

Also if by chance any of you are also Irish get off yer arse and vote yes.

Mature Superhero RP

Morning nerds! Well, nearly goodnight but I know most of you reading this will be in the States.
So as the title says I'm looking to host a more adult superhero RP. I suppose it's important to outline what I actually mean by that. Encouraged by the uptake of more grisly or realistic interpretations of our favorite comic heroes as of late (see The Dark Knight trilogy, The Arrow or the MCU) I think the time is ripe for some high level hero RPing!

Now I've seen quite a few hero RPs in my six years of guilding but for the most part they tend to be on the casual side, focusing on fantasy fulfillment and to be brash, childish. What I am looking at doing is having an RP with mature themes; morality, death, relations, real implications of superpowers etc. And maybe a tad bit of fantasy fulfillment .

Now don't get me wrong we need to fantastical, the bizarre and the downright corny for a universe with heroes to exist! I even have a mythology to explain magic in this universe and slightly futuristic setting to allow for some sci-fi shenanigans to get our heroes going.

In summary: Superheroes, character development, an actual plotline, fun, deep interaction, mature themes and of course as high quality writing as I can offer!

I've created a chatzy. I'll be on it myself for the next number of hours if anyone who's interested would prefer immediate discussion :)

The RP Thread

Obligatory Nation Interest Check

Perfect that's enough interest to let me get going. It's a world I've used before so I have much of the basic info ready to go. I can get up a proper thread tonight.

Obligatory Nation Interest Check

I'd personally prefer the fantasy setting. I'd ideally like 3-6 people.

Obligatory Nation Interest Check

Summer is coming! And that means it's thr time period during which I actually get to RP properly.

While I'm personally looking for a nice character based RP I do also love my nation RP's

I have old but refurbished concepts for both fantasy and Sci Fi settings.
Which would people prefer to see? Sci fit seems to be the more prevalent one at the moment?

Amongst Living Gods (Sci-Fi NRP)

I'm going to be making a concerted effort to make up for lost time. Trying to organise my internship has had me up the walls. I'll try and get multiple posts up in the next week or so. I'm going to go read the IC right now. I'll get on the chat for the day tomorrow and get writing.
