In an op-ed entitled Let’s Keep the Momentum Going After Win in Ireland, Joe Biden praises Ireland for going from homosexuality being illegal to legally adopting gay marriage, suggesting that we should follow in their footsteps:
I cannot improve upon the perfectly Irish statements they made following this historic vote, but I can echo the taoiseach’s words when he described the Irish as “a generous, compassionate, bold and joyful people,” and that their choice will be “heard loudly across the living world as a sound of pioneering leadership.”
In 22 years, Ireland has gone from a nation where simply being LGBT was against the law to a nation where the people resoundingly stand for equal rights.
And here in the United States, in just the past three years we’ve gone from six states recognizing marriage equality to 37 states, comprising 224 million Americans. It’s about love. It’s about equality. It’s about dignity. It’s about our most cherished values. That’s what this is about — it’s all it’s ever been about.
There is still work to be done. There are still too many nations that deny people even the right to be safe from violence and severe discrimination, and too many states here in America that allow a person to be fired simply for being lesbian, gay, transgender, or bisexual.
Equality? What a joke. The left’s version of equality is totalitarianism. Before it’s over Democrats will be forcing churches to hire gays in the name of equality.
