I wonder how the people who voted against same-sex marriage feel now
Seán Moncrieff: The planet is officially boiling. Is this as good as it’s ever going to get for humankind?
Over time, I noticed people stealing glances at the shoes; and not, it seemed, in an admiring way. I eventually realised they were hideous. She was on a bus in the centre of Dublin with her girlfriend when two young men around their age started screaming abuse at them. If it hadn’t been so frightening, it would have been close to daftly comic: shouting “lesbian!” at a lesbian is like shouting “tree!” at a tree and expecting it to feel bad about its tree-ness.
The simple explanation is that they were homophobes. I still wonder why they felt the need to do it, or what they thought it might achieve. That they felt they had permission to do it is more easily explainable.
