Up against millions of US “gay” dollars and overwhelming support by politicians, media, business, and liberal elite.
This Friday, May 22, Ireland is holding a national vote on whether to legalize “gay marriage” in that country. If this passes, it would be the first country in the world to redefine marriage by popular vote.
Ireland has never before seen anything like this.
The homosexual lobby from the US has poured millions of dollars into
this and has helped organize massive lobbying, media, and business
political pressure. The force behind this campaign and its
intimidation against opponents are enormous.
Despite the massive propaganda and intimidation
campaign, a surprising number of regular people aren't buying it.

At the same time, financial support for the
pro-family counter-push has been virtually non-existent. But there is a
strong grassroots undercurrent against it. MassResistance has been
working with activists to help them educate the Irish voters about the
true consequences of “gay marriage” in society.
POSTCARD distributed to nearly 55,000 households in Ireland. MassResistance video is mentioned on both sides. See larger version of postcard HERE.
Help from MassResistance
Over the past few months MassResistance has been
working with a number of Irish pro-marriage activists. Most recently,
we have been corresponding with activist Derry O’Sullivan
in Dublin. Late last night he sent us some descriptions of what’s
been happening on the ground over in Ireland. We asked him for a
report, which we quote from below.
One of the primary tools from MassResistance for Irish voters has been our video, “What gay marriage did to Massachusetts” – which has been used by pro-marriage activists from Australia and Hong Kong to Finland and Africa.
Among other things, nearly 55,000 postcards urging
people to watch the MassResistance video have been distributed across
the country. (It’s making an impression -- we’ve gotten angry emails
from homosexual activists!)
We not only sent copies of our booklet, “What same-sex ‘marriage’ has done to Massachusetts” to Irish activists, but we sent them the master files so they could print out unlimited copies themselves.
Also, groups like the Catholic Action League of Massachusetts (which we work with) have appealed to voters in Ireland with their own information.
Massive funding from American pro-homosexual foundation
The “gay marriage” movement in Ireland would be
nowhere without massive funding from the United States. As Derry told
us: “The injection of many millions of dollars from the USA –
estimated by some at up to $25 million - over the past few years has prepared for this day.”
In particular, a massive amount of American money
has been sent into Ireland to push “gay marriage” by a billion-dollar
foundation called Atlantic Philanthropies.
Funneling the money through key Irish LGBT organizations, it has had an
enormous impact on politicians, the media, and the entire public
sphere.
Atlantic Philanthropies' recent report on their push in LGBT Ireland describes how they’ve super-charged the once-unsophisticated Irish LGBT group GLEN to carry out the mission:
[GLEN’s] multi-year grant from Atlantic enabled
them to ramp up their work into a full-time, highly professionalised
lobbying machine. It works ‘inside’ the machinery of government where
it uses a ‘principled pragmatist’ model in which it consolidates
support, wins over the doubtful and pacifies those who are opposed.
Not surprisingly, most of the Irish media ignores
the huge money from the US. So the reporting falls on opinion
columnists. As a columnist in the Irish Times observed,
“Groupthink has been exalted to an Irish
sacrament. While journalists were targeting tiny bootstrap
conservative organisations and accusing them of being American-funded,
GLEN, the most successful lobby group in Irish history, was swimming
in greenbacks.”
A columnist for the Irish news site Independent.IE calls it ". . . a massive and sustained intrusion in Irish political and social life with almost unlimited funds."
Large US multinational corporations are also pushing the agenda to Irish voters. As Austin Ruse of C-FAM here in the US observed:
"It’s not just Big Gay American Money going to fool and even threaten the Irish people, it is also despicable American corporations who are saying a “no” vote will harm the Irish economy, including Twitter, which hardly has a presence in Ireland at all. According to the American “Irish Central” website, “A ‘No’ vote in the marriage equality referendum could have negative consequences for investment in Ireland.”
Transforming the Irish political establishment into LGBT advocates
Getting the political establishment on board,
especially in a country like Ireland, was necessary. Derry says this
effort was proceeded by a flood of propaganda:
The Irish public had been at the receiving end of a
constant deluge of LGBT propaganda for several years, and this has
greatly intensified over the past weeks in an orchestrated campaign.
Just one example: Large numbers of celebrities have come out in favour
of the proposed amendment, and the media is full of emotional stories
among the lines of “I want my gay brother/son to be happy and be able
to marry like his siblings.”
Then came the organizing and intense lobbying. It
all paid off spectacularly. The pro-gay marriage groupthink now has a
choke-hold on virtually the entire political establishment. As Derry
says, it’s had a particularly chilling effect on the politicals:
This is a true David vs Goliath conflict. The media are 100% in favour of a “yes” vote. The politicians are virtually 100% in favour of a “yes” vote. Of 166 members of parliament only a handful are opening opposing this proposal.
It has been reported that just 6 members of parliament (between both
houses) have indicated that they will vote no. The others who are
quietly against, are scared of being kicked out of their political
parties into electoral oblivion. There is NO political partly opposing
this drastic change.
The police force, trade unions, and speeded-up voter registration at colleges
But as Derry describes, the political establishment is doing unheard of things:
Even the national police force (Gardaí) has been
employed in favour of the “yes” side by (among other things) giving
students an easier path to voter registration than the general
population.
Young people are 95% in favour of the proposal,
whereas older people are the other way. One-stop voter registration
desks were set up in Colleges, whereas the rest of the population had
two or three stops to make. The same tables were laden with “vote yes”
leaflets with backdrops of “yes” posters. This along with the input
of trade unions, and professional organisations, the media, etc. has
seriously skewed the democratic process.
It goes on and on. According news reports, a Senator on the "No" side vote of the Marriage Referendum debate has claimed that agencies who receive State funding are being pressured into supporting a Yes vote.
Unprecedented intimidation of pro-family position
No one in Ireland can recall the kind of widespread
harassment and intimidation that’s taking place over this issue. This
is the most frightening of all, says Derry:
The “yes” campaign has been marked by a great deal
of aggression and verbal abuse directed toward the “no” side. Many
people are afraid to declare openly that they’re going to vote “no.”
There is a tradition here of putting up political posters before
elections and referenda. “No” posters have been extensively removed
and defaced, and are hugely outnumbered by the well-funded “yes” side
posters.

The public indimidation. Unfortunately, an all too common scene in Ireland. "No" sign gets defaced. |
The Spectator, a conservative journal, puts it more bluntly
“Ireland’s ‘tolerant’ elite now demonise anyone who opposes gay marriage . . . in Ireland, to be a naysayer in relation to gay marriage is basically to make yourself a moral leper, unfit for polite society, ripe for exclusion from respectable circles. Irish opponents of gay marriage aren’t only encouraged to feel shy — they’re encouraged to feel shame.”
Even the Psychological Society of Ireland has gotten into the act. The organization is warning Irish citizens
that any academic claim that same-sex parenting or parenting by
transgender parents is less beneficial to children than parenting by
normal parents is “outdated” and that such information “has the
potential to impact detrimentally on people.” They are bringing Orwell
to a new level, that’s for sure.
Irish pro-family groups Fighting back: rising to the occasion
The good news is that despite everything, pro-family groups are rising to the occasion. As Derry tells us:
On the “no” side, a variety of organisations have
sprung up virtually overnight as the impact of the proposal dawned on
many ordinary people. These include http://mothersandfathersmatter.org, http://keepmarriage.org, and others. In addition, the longer established Roman Catholic organisation, The Iona Institute (http://ionainstitute.ie)
has very ably taken on the media, and has done a good job in the many
debates on TV and radio. Large numbers of church groups have been
very active in publishing and distributing “no” literature.
This has mobilised grass root people who have
never before been involved in political issues. Many ordinary people
feel hugely let down by the politicians. They face a gargantuan task,
but the government has been previously defeated on previous proposed
constitutional changes, so it’s possible again.

How will the vote go?
As we write this, the polls in Ireland are over 70% in favor of the “Yes” side. But as Austin Ruse of C-FAM says.
It is not a bit surprising that polls have gone
this way. After all, we live in an age where the wrong answer on faux
marriage can cost you your job or your business. Why would anyone tell
an utter stranger on the phone that they oppose faux marriage? It is
surprising that anyone does.
So, even 78 percent poll results in Ireland do not
surprise, or even particularly worry because something happens in the
privacy of that voting booth. In there, people are free from gay
coercion, free to consider what marriage really is, free to consider
that children really do need a mother and a father and that two men
can never be a mother and two women can never provide a father, free
to vote 'no' on faux marriage.
A few days ago, we spoke to a Massachusetts activist
who happened to be in Ireland for business. He told us pretty much
the same thing. The polls look bad, he said, but he’s sensed a big
undercurrent of pro-marriage sentiment that’s under the radar.
In about a day, we’ll see for sure.
In many parts of Ireland people are much more outspoken than in the United States. [Photo: Mail & Guardian]
